There is a great difference between using the work of others as a stimulus, and the direct copying of others' work as a way of avoiding the work involved in the exercise. If duplicate exercises are turned in by several students they will be considered as plagiarism and no credit will be given to any of the parties or teams involved. In other words, it is considered cheating if two exercises look very, very similar. It is cheating to copy another persons exercise, image, or final. If there is doubt about plagiarism on a particular exercise it should be discussed with the professor prior to being signed, dated, and submitted as original work.
Attendance is required.
Roll will be taken each period by signing a roll sheet. A student is allowed one unexcused absences without notification to the professor. Students arriving after the class has started cause disruptions and will be admitted at the discretion of the instructor. Excused absences must be arranged with the professor prior to the occurrence of the absence. An exception to the rule is if absences are due either to medical or family emergencies.
