Failure to attend lab will result in a 30% gradepenalty for that module. Students will only come to the lab section in which they areenrolled. Lab doors will be locked ten minutes after class starts. Work must be turned in toDr. Grisham. There will be a late penalty of 10% of total possible points for each day late--exceptions only for illness WITH DOCUMENTATION, or death in immediate family WITHDOCUMENTATION. The full late penalty will be assessed 10 minutes after the start of class.Penalty will go to 20% after 8 hours late. Computer trouble, printer trouble, or traffic will notbe an acceptable reason for an extension. Assignments are due at the start of lab period. Allassignments must be typed and partial assignments will not be accepted. Email assignmentswill not be acceptable. Dr Grisham will handle re-grades. If a student requests a re-grade,their entire assignment will be regarded, and the student’s grade can go up OR GO DOWN.Students have one week after receiving their paper back to request a re-grade, after one week,requests will not be considered.Plagiarism and CheatingAll work MUST be the student’s own individual work. We will use TURNITIN, accessiblefrom your MyUCLA, and an electronic copy of your assignment is due at the same time asyour hardcopy is due. Collaborative efforts (explicit or implicit) will not be acceptable. DoNOT work together on any assignment. Sharing your work on a paper or take home examwill be considered the same as sharing an answer in an in-class exam. Using papers fromprevious terms meets the definition of plagiarism. Do not use templates from previouscourses. You have an obligation to behave in an ethically responsible manner. We have aZERO TOLERANCE for plagiarism and cheating in this course. Cheaters and plagiarists willbe referred to the Dean of Students.Academic Honesty:Cheating including plagiarism:http://www.deanofstudents.ucla.edu/Before%20You%20Begin%20That%20Paper.htmPlagiarism: To PLAGIARIZE is to "steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one'sown without crediting the source; present as new and original an idea or product derived froman existing source," (Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, Springfield: G. & C. MerriamCompany, 1973, 870.).GradingGrading will be straight scaled. Modules will be weighted in proportion to the number ofweeks of duration. That is three week modules = 30% of grade and two week modules =20% of grade.Grading scale97-100 A+93-96 A90-92 A-87-89 B+83-86 B80-82 B-77-79 C+73-76 C70-72 C-67-69 D+63-66 D60-63 D- BELOW 60
