Academic Honesty
I trust all students are honest and do not cheat. Those who break my trust at any point will get an F in the course - no excuses or apologies will be accepted.Additional penalties may also be imposed by the department and the university. Very severe incidents of academic dishonesty can result in suspension or expulsion from the university.
So don't risk it! If, for some reason, you can't do the homework on time or can't study for the Quiz, you're better off skipping it than cheating it. Do the math!
Students with Disability
Any student who feels he or she may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact me privately to discuss his or her specific needs. Also contact the Disability Services Center at (949) 824-7494 as soon as possible to better ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.
