Academic
Policy
Issues:
If illness (or some similar disruption) prevents
you from writing a test or from handing
in an assignment, you must notify the instructor on or before
the due date. Only in truly
extraordinary circumstances is notification after the due date
acceptable.
Students must be aware of University policies regarding: a)
Academic Integrity
[https://spark.library.yorku.ca/academic-integrity-what-is-academic-integrity/]
and b) Religious Observances
[https://w2prod.sis.yorku.ca/Apps/WebObjects/cdm.woa/wa/regobs].
Please read the policies in full. As a summary, the rules are as
follows:
a) Students must not plagiarize. It's OK to work together to
find the path to a
solution of a homework problem, as long as you write up the
answer independently.
You must write assignments in your own words; identical answers
will result in
zeros for all parties involved. Plagiarism is a serious
academic offense.
Students must also not cheat or impersonate another individual
during quizzes or exams.
b) While religious observations are respected, it may well be
that a conflict occurs in the
scheduling of assignments or exams. Should a conflict occur, the
student should contact
the course instructor before, and not on or after, the due date.
By default, assignments
must be handed in before and not after the due date in such
cases.
