Student Responsibilities:
Students enrolled in this class are agreeing to the following:
- All work turned in as lab reports, projects, and exams MUST be individual. If any work claimed by a student to be his/her own is found to be shared with other students, that will be considered a violation of academic integrity and will be handled accordingly. Academic integrity violations will NOT be tolerated and may resut in failing the class as well as additional disciplinary actions. More information about UCSC's academic integrity are provided below.
- Students are responsible for keeping up with material covered in class including readings from textbook.
- Students are also responsible for checking the class Web page frequently for updates, schedule changes, etc.
- Students must keep up with lab assignments and projects. Late submissions will not be accepted.
- Course material, including assignments and lecture notes, will be posted on the class Web page. However, students are responsible for all material covered in class, whether or not it appeared on the Web site.
Academic Integrity:
In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the number of academic integrity violation incidents in many UC campuses, and unfortunately, UCSC is no exception. The School of Engineering has a zero-tolerance policy for any incident of academic dishonesty. If cheating occurs, they will result in academic sanctions in the context of the course, and in addition, every case of academic dishonesty is referred to the students' College Provost, who then sets the disciplinary sanctions. Cheating in any part of the course may lead to failing the course and suspension or dismissal from the University.
What is cheating? In short, it is presenting someone else's work as your own. Examples would include copying another student's written or electronic homework assignment, or allowing your own work to be copied. Although you may discuss problems with fellow students, when you submit an assignment with your name on it, it is assumed it is your own work. If you use ideas or text from others, you MUST cite your sources and give credit to whoever contributed to your work. Copying solutions from online sources is also considered cheating.
If there are any questions on what constitutes academic integrity violations, please make sure to talk to the instructor and/or the TAs for clarification. You are also referred to www.ucsc.edu/academics/academic_integrity/ for additional information on UCSC's academic integrity policies.
