During each class meeting there may be a quiz. Quizzes will usually consist of up to twenty-five questions taken from the review pages found on the TECH 402 home page for the week in question. No laboratory fee will be assessed by the University for materials used in this course at this time. Please note that your fees may increase to cover any damage or theft of equipment or materials in our classroom or laboratory and if so, a receipt of payments must be shown to the instructor and checked off. These subjects may come from substantial current events, student question, unique learning opportunity, equipment malfunction, or information deemed important by the instructor related to power, energy, and transportation.
Plagiarism is a direct violation of intellectual and academic honesty.
The most extreme forms of plagiarism are a paper written by another person, a paper obtained from a commercial source, or a paper made up of passages copied word for word without acknowledgment. But paraphrasing authors' ideas or quoting even limited portions of their texts without proper citation is also an act of plagiarism. Even putting someone else's ideas into one's own words without acknowledgment may be plagiarism. In any of its forms, plagiarism cannot be tolerated in an academic community. It may constitute grounds for a failing grade, probation, suspension, or expulsion.
