Academic Honor Code

The Academic Honor System of the Florida State University is based on the premise that each student has the responsibility 1) to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in the student's own work, 2) to refuse to tolerate violations of academic integrity in the University community, and 3) to foster a high sense of integrity and social responsibility on the part of the University community

This being said, academic dishonesty will not be tolerated under any circumstances. The burden of proof will fall upon the student. You should make every possible effort to insure that you are not suspected of cheating (directly or abetting). Any student caught cheating in any way, shape, or form will receive an automatic failing grade for this course and will be reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs and receive a resounding recommendation from this instructor for academic dismissal from Florida State University.

Required Citation Format:

The APA system of citation and referencing (as modified by the instructor) must be followed for all written work. Any other questions concerning style or format should be referred to Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th. edition, 2001). Plagiarism will not be tolerated. See the relationship between citation use and plagiarism in the APA document.

Attendance and Late Work

Attendance is not mandatory. All assigned work must be turned in by the start of class on the day that it is due. Otherwise, the work will not be accepted and receive a zero.

Students With Disabilities

If accommodations are needed for a disability, students should notify the instructor during the first week of class. In order to be provided with accommodations, students need to be registered with the Student Disabilities Resource Center. The syllabus is available in alternative format upon request.

Students with Disabilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act should follow these steps:

1) Provide documentation of your disability to the Office of Disabled Students Services (Phone: 644-1741).
2) Bring a statement from the Office of Disabled Students Services indicating that you have registered with them.
3) At the first class session, introduce yourself to the instructor.

Student Athletes

In accordance with FAC 6C-6.020 the Registrar will regularly monitor the class attendance of student athletes, as will the support staff for student athletes. One is in violation of this rule if the student athlete is not regularly attending classes. The student accused of being in violation of class attendance requirements will appear before the Hearing Committee.
