9. Comments and notes
:
Preparation for Class: It is expected that the students read related chapter in textbook and lecture noted before each class. This will help to
capture the topics presented and discussed during class hours.
Make-up: Make-up classes are officially accepted after the Make-up forms are signed by all of the students in the class and directly send to the
Registrars.
Class Attendance: Due to the broad range of topics discussed throughout the course and their inter-relationship, it is requested that the students
should attend the class regularly.
Assignment Requirement: Assignments of each session must be submitted by email before the next session begins.
Use of Class Time: Class time will be used mainly for lectures and discussions. A small part of class hours is used for testing. House works will
be discussed on individual basis.
Incomplete Grade: A grade of “I” (Incomplete) will be administered only under extreme, verifiable “emergency” situation where the student is
unable to complete some portion of the course work due to circumstances beyond his/her control PROVIDED THE STUDENT IS PASSING THE COURSE.
Plagiarism, Cheating and Collusion: Plagiarism and cheating are regarded as very serious offences. In cases where cheating has been confirmed,
students have been severely penalized, from losing all marks for an assignment, to facing disciplinary action at the Department level. While we would wish
that all our students adhere to sound ethical conduct and honesty.
We ask you to acquaint yourself with Student Rights and Responsibilities and the Department Regulations that apply to students detected cheating as these
will be applied in all detected cases.
When you submit an individual assessment item, such as a program, a report, an essay, assignment or other piece of work, under your name you are understood
to be starting that this is your own work. If a submission is identical with, or similar to, some one else’s work, an assumption of cheating may arise. If
you are planning on working with another student, it is acceptable to undertake research, and discuss problems, but it is not acceptable to jointly develop
or share solutions unless this is specified by your lecturer.
Plagiarism involves the false representation of another person’s ideas, or findings, your own by either copying material or paraphrasing without citing
sources. It is both professional and ethical to reference clearly the ideas and information that you have used from another writer. If the source is not
identified, then you have plagiarized work of the other author. Plagiarism is a form of dishonesty that is insulting to the reader and grossly unfair to
your student colleagues.
Non-discriminatory language: The UIT is committed to the use of non-discriminatory language in all forms of communication. Discriminatory language is that
which refers in abusive terms to gender, race, age, sexual orientation, citizenship, or nationality, ethic or language background, physical or mental
ability, or political or religious views, or which stereotypes groups in an adverse manner.
This is not preclude or inhibit legitimate academic debate an any issue; however, the language used in such debate should be non-discriminatory langue in
academic work tends to be in the area of gender inclusiveness. You are, therefore, requested to check for this and to ensure your work and communications
are non-discriminatory in all respects.
