I expect students to attend and to be punctual, but I am not a strict roll taker. Students are adults and should assume the adult responsibility of seeing to the education for which they, their family, or the tax payers of Georgia are footing the bill. Although I do not take regular roll, I reserve the right to lower the overall class grade of students who are routinely absent. Incidentally, students who are often absent usually end up failing the course, a source of some satisfaction to me, I might add. Be advised that I adhere strictly to this code and its manner of adjudication.
Academic dishonesty includes cheating on tests and plagiarizing papers.
If you cheat and I don't catch you, it's still on your conscience, if you have one. If I do catch you, the consequences will be, I promise you, most unpleasant. Ignorance of what constitutes academic dishonesty is not an excuse. The papers for the course will be accepted late, but will be marked down one full letter grade for each day they are late. A paper is considered late after the beginning of the class period on the day the paper is due.
