Absences: University-excused absences will not count against your participation grade.
Please see student-rules.tamu.edu to view student rules of attendance.
Academic Integrity: It is my hope that our class will function as a learning community
a group of people working together to learn and to support each other in that learning. As a
learning community, we must be able to trust one another, and for this reason we place a
high value on scholastic honesty. Scholastic honesty means, in essence, that everything
that you claim as your own work, i s your own work. To copy another persons work and
claim it as your own, is a violation of trust and a violation of the Aggie Honor Code: An
Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal or tolerate those who do. Your signature on every piece of work that
you turn in to us is your pledge that it is your own work. Please refer to
www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor for additional information about the Aggie Honor Code.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that
provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Among other
things, this legislation requires that all students with disabilities be guaranteed a learning
environment that provides for reasonable accommodation of their disabilities. If you believe
you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact Disability Services, in Cain
Hall, Room B118, or call 845-1637. For additional information visit
