  8. HOMEWORK • Check your “Tentative Schedule” daily and complete the appropriate exercises in your WEB-SAM as they are an essential component of the program. • It is your responsibility –and extremely advisable - to complete the exercises concurrently with daily class preparation instead of “cramming” it all the night before they are due. • Full credit will be awarded only if you have completed all the assigned exercises.Check the tentative schedule and the vistas site for homework due dates. • No late work will be accepted. • Please note that homework is due by 9:00 p.m. No late work will be accepted.

  10. CHEATING STATEMENT  • Honesty and integrity are very important in higher education. • To claim to have written something that is not entirely your own work is a violation of academic and personal integrity. • Each homework assignment, written activity, and test should be your own work. • Any violation of the items mentioned will cause you to be terminated from the course with a grade of F. • Also, you will be referred to the Dean of Students Services for further disciplinary action.
