will be considered an act of scholastic dishonesty and will receive zero credit for that assignment.
b) Exams: Students have the responsibility of avoiding the appearance of cheating during tests,
e.g., clearing desk top of all unauthorized material, putting all unauthorized study materials out of
view, and keeping their eyes on their own work.
Violations of academic honesty on exams will result in punishment ranging from a grade of zero to
a grade of F in the course.
2. Exams Attendance
It is the student's responsibility to be fully aware of exams dates. Only sound reasons will be
accepted for being absent from an exam. For authorized absences, the instructor will give a makeup
test. For unauthorized absences, the instructor will decide on a course of action depending on the
circumstances. Lost of credit for the missed test is a possible course of action.
