All due dates (and times) are strict, as announced in class. If you believe your work was delayed
by truly exceptional circumstances, let me know as soon as those circumstances are known to you and
I will try to make a fair allowance. However, the default is that you get a zero if you don’t turn in thework on time.
Attendance:
Although I expect students to attend all class meetings, I will not be taking attendance. If
you miss a class meeting, you are responsible for making up the lost material. If you have a valid reason
for missing a class, let me know early and I will try to help you make up the class.
Make-up classes:
I may have to reschedule a few classes due to my other professional commitments. I will
make every attempt to minimize the number of such occurrences and to reschedule for a time that
works for most students. Further, I will make sure no student is penalized by such occurrences.
Academic honesty
(standard university wording): Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism and
all forms of misrepresentation in academic work, and is unacceptable at The University of Maine. As
stated in the University of Maine’s online undergraduate Student Handbook, plagiarism (the submission
of another’s work without appropriate attribution) and cheating are violations of The University of
Maine Student Conduct Code. An instructor who has probable cause or reason to believe a student
has cheated may act upon such evidence, and should report the case to the supervising faculty member
or the Department Chair for appropriate action.
Disabilities
(standard university wording): If you have a disability for which you may be requesting an
accommodation, please contact Ann Smith, Director of Disabilities Services, 121 East Annex, 581-2319,
as early as possible in the term.
