In keeping with the Christian values that Concordia University at Austin seeks to portray and instill in students, academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to any form of cheating, copying, plagiarism, passing others’ work off as your own, etc. Note that failure to provide proper citations and references in term papers will be treated as plagiarism. Sanctions will be imposed as outlined in the current catalog and/or Student Handbook.
The learning activities will include lecture, homework, Internet activities, research and writing of a term paper, class discussion.
Students are expected to attend class every day. Fifty points of the final grade are based on instructor evaluation, including attendance. More than two (2) absences that have not been excused will reduce this grade to zero. This amounts to a one-letter-grade penalty. Absences may be excused for university sponsored activities, illness, death in the family, or (at the sole and exclusive discretion of the instructor) other reasons. If you must be absent for a scheduled event, then inform me before the absence. In the case of an emergency, you should first get the situation under control, then call me and leave a message on voice mail.
