Academic Dishonesty:
Students caught cheating or plagiarizing will receive a "0" for that particular
assignment or exam. Additionally, the incident will be reported to the Office of
Student Rights and Responsibilities, which may impose for further penalty.
According to the UNT catalog, the term "cheating" includes, but is not limited
to: a. use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, or
examinations; b. dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by
the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or
carrying out other assignments; c. the acquisition, without permission, of tests
or other academic material belonging to a faculty or staff member of the
university; d. dual submission of a paper or project, or resubmission of a paper
or project to a different class without express permission from the instructor(s);
or e. any other act designed to give a student an unfair advantage. The term
"plagiarism" includes, but is not limited to: a. the knowing or negligent use by
paraphrase or direct quotation of the published or unpublished work of another
person without full and clear acknowledgment; and b. the knowing or negligent
unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in
the selling of term papers or other academic materials.
ADA Statement:
The University of North Texas is on record as being committed to both the spirit
and letter of federal equal opportunity legislation; reference Public Law 92-112
– The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. With the passage of new federal
legislation entitled Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) as amended,
pursuant to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, there is renewed focus on
providing this population with the same opportunities enjoyed by all citizens.
As a faculty member, I am required by law to provide "reasonable accommodations"
to students with disabilities, so as not to discriminate on the basis of that
disability. Student responsibility primarily rests with informing faculty of
their need for accommodation and in providing authorized documentation through
designated administrative channels. Information regarding specific diagnostic
criteria and policies for obtaining academic accommodations can be found at
www.unt.edu/oda. Also, you may visit the Office of Disability Accommodation in
the University Union (room 321) or call (940) 565-4323.
Acceptable Student Behavior:
Student behavior that interferes with an instructor’s ability to conduct a class
or other students' opportunity to learn is unacceptable and disruptive and will
not be tolerated in any instructional forum at UNT. Students engaging in
unacceptable behavior will be directed to leave the classroom and the instructor
may refer the student to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities to
consider whether the student's conduct violated the Code of Student Conduct. The
university's expectations for student conduct apply to all instructional forums,
including university and electronic classroom, labs, discussion groups, field
trips, etc. The Code of Student Conduct can be found at
www.unt.edu/csrr.
Emergency Notification & Procedures:
UNT uses a system called Eagle Alert to quickly notify you with critical
information in the event of an emergency (i.e., severe weather, campus closing,
and health and public safety emergencies like chemical spills, fires, or
violence). The system sends voice messages (and text messages upon permission)
to the phones of all active faculty staff, and students. Please make certain to
update your phone numbers at www.my.unt.edu
. Some helpful emergency preparedness actions include: 1) ensuring you in know
the evacuation routes and severe weather shelter areas, determining how you will
contact family and friends if phones are temporarily unavailable, and
identifying where you will go if you need to evacuate the Denton area suddenly.
In the event of a university closure, please refer to Blackboard for contingency
plans for covering course materials.
Student Evaluation of Teaching
Effectiveness (SETE):
The Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness (SETE) is a requirement for all
organized classes at UNT. This short survey will be made available at the end of
the semester to provide students a chance to comment on how this class is
taught. Student feedback is important and an essential part of participation in
this course.
