MAKE-UP EXAM POLICY

All students are expected to take the exams at the scheduled times. Only under extraordinary circumstances will exam dates or times be changed for individual students. If a student is unable to take an exam due to personal illness or emergency, he or she will notify the course coordinator before the scheduled exam time.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

Students are encouraged to study together and to share their knowledge freely with one another during the learning process. During examinations, however, no assistance from other students or from outside sources is allowed, unless explicitly permitted by the instructors. Calculators are permitted, but all other materials, such as books and notes may not be used. I ask students to handle their answer sheets discreetly by keeping them out of full and easy view of others. In accordance with the Ohio University Student Handbook, academic misconduct will result minimally in the issuance of a failing grade for the exercise involved and may, at the discretion of the instructor, result in the summary issuance of a failing grade for the course.
