Policies
Late Assignment Policy
Students can submit their homework assignments up to two days late with 10% penalty per day.
Academic Integrity
With the exception of routine studying and tutoring, all graded work must be the sole result of your own efforts. You may not do work for another student nor may you copy or plagiarize someone else’s work. At a minimum, cheating will result in a grade of zero on the assignment. Depending on the circumstances, you may also receive a grade of ‘F’ for the course.
Students in this course will be expected to comply with the University of Pittsburgh's Policy on Academic Integrity. Any student suspected of violating this obligation for any reason during the semester will be required to participate in the procedural process, initiated at the instructor level, as outlined in the University Guidelines on Academic Integrity. This may include, but is not limited to, the confiscation of the examination of any individual suspected of violating University Policy.
Disability Services
If you have a disability that requires special testing accommodations or other classroom modifications, you need to notify both the instructor and Disability Resources and Services no later than the second week of the term. You may be asked to provide documentation of your disability to determine the appropriateness of accommodations. To notify Disability Resources and Services, call (412) 648-7890 (Voice or TTD) to schedule an appointment. The Disability Resources and Services office is located in 140 William Pitt Union on the Oakland campus.
