By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UMBC's scholarly community in which everyone's academic work and behavior are held to the highest standards of honesty. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and helping others to commit these acts are all forms of academic dishonesty, and they are wrong. Academic misconduct could result in disciplinary action that may include, but is not limited to, suspension or dismissal. To read the full Student Academic Conduct Policy, consult the UMBC Student Handbook, the Faculty Handbook, or the UMBC Policies section of the UMBC Directory.
You are expected to attend all classes and meet with your group during pre-arranged times. Notice that both regular class attendance and the special Research Review Day attendance are required and carry a significant weight of your course grade.
Make-ups for exams are given under only the most dire circumstances.
In general, the exams will be closed-notes.
The final exam will be comprehensive and cover the material
from the entire course.
