Projects will not be accepted after 1 week beyond the project s deadline - No make-up exams (except for medical or family emergencies) will be offered nor will there be any changes made to the Final Exam schedule. - It is your responsibility to submit your project on or before the due date. It is not the responsibility of the lab assistant. Do not turn in anything to your lab assistant! - All projects will be digitally submitted through blackboard except where specifically specified. Always keep a backup copy of your labs Academic Integrity The use of unauthorized material, communication with fellow students during an examination, attempting to benefit from the work of another student, and similar behavior that defeats the intent of an examination or other class work is unacceptable to the University. It is often difficult to distinguish between a culpable act and inadvertent 2ehavior resulting from the nervous tension accompanying examinations. When the professor determines that a violation has occurred, appropriate action, as determined by the instructor, will be taken. Although working together is encouraged, all work claimed as yours must in fact be your own effort. Students who plagiarize the work of other students will receive zero points and possibly be referred to Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards (SJACS).
