á       Ethics and conducts

á    All students have to agree to the SMU Honor Code (link).

á    We cannot and will not tolerate any form of academic dishonesty by students. This includes, but is not limited to cheating on examinations and homework/project assignment; plagiarism or collusion. Definitions of cheating on exams includes

á     Copying from another's paper, any means of communication with another during exam, giving aid to or receiving aid from another during exam;

á     Using any material during exam that is unauthorized by the proctor;

á     Taking or attempting to take an exam for another student or allowing another student to take or attempt to take an exam for oneself;

á     Using, obtaining, or attempting to obtain by any means the whole or any part of an unadministered exam.

á     Plagiarism is the unacknowledged incorporation of another's work into work which the student offers for credits.

á     Collusion is the unauthorized collaboration of another in preparing work that a student offers for credit.

á       All students have to sign the Statement on Ethics, Professionalism and Conducts. Without the Statement, the student will not receive credits.

á       Any evidence of cheating or plagiarism in reports will cause ZERO credit. This is a zero-tolerance policy. Any evidence of cheating or plagiarism in final project reports will receive ZERO credit for the entire semester.

á       Any conduct considered as cheating and evidence will be handed over to the DeanÕs Office. The lecturer and teaching assistants will not be personally involved.

á       Email, classroom and profession etiquette

á       Students are required to present professionalism, courtesy and politeness in the classroom and lab. No loud voices, invasive or intrusive behaviors are allowed. No food is allowed in class. Any violation will be reported to the police.

á       It is important to follow common email etiquette. Any email that looks like a text message will be ignored because our goals are to mentor students to have professionalism. Being polite and courteous is not difficult to follow [complete list is in http://www.101emailetiquettetips.com/.

á       Disability Accommodations:  Students needing academic accommodations for a disability must first register with Disability Accommodations & Success Strategies (DASS).  Students can call 214-768-1470 or visit https://www.smu.edu/Provost/SASP/DASS to begin the process.  Once registered, students should then schedule an appointment with the professor as early in the semester as possible, present a DASS Accommodation Letter, and make appropriate arrangements.  Please note that accommodations are not retroactive and require advance notice to implement.

á        Religious Observance: Religiously observant students wishing to be absent on holidays that require missing class should notify their professors in writing at the beginning of the semester, and should discuss with them, in advance, acceptable ways of making up any work missed because of the absence. (See ÒReligious HolidaysÓ under University Policy No. 7.22)

á        Excused Absences for University Extracurricular Activities: Students participating in an officially sanctioned, scheduled University extracurricular activity should be given the opportunity to make up class assignments or other graded assignments missed as a result of their participation.  It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor prior to any missed scheduled examination or other missed assignment for making up the work.
