WebCT

This course will make use of WebCT. Participants can access the course web site by logging into 49er Express. The 49er Express login link is located on the UNCC Homepage. The link is http://www.express.uncc.edu/cp/home/loginf. The WebCT Student Support website is at Student Support. From this page participants can access important information on browsers, log in, WebCT tours, general guides, and troubleshooting information.

Students are responsible for monitoring the course WebCT site and message boards on a regular basis.
Assignments must be submitted through WebCT, without exception.

Policies

Class attendance is mandatory.
All assignments will be submitted using WebCT.
All assignments must be completed individually. Copying assignment material from others will result in an F for all parties involved. Please refer to the statement on academic integrity found at the end of this document.
Assignments must be submitted by 5pm on the due date, unless explicitly altered and posted by course staff. Typically this will be enforced directly through the WebCT submission mechanism, however it is the submission time and not the WebCT enforcement that counts. In the case of verifiable extraordinary circumstances, late submission may be permitted at the discretion of the instructor and may incur a penalty.
Lecture notes will be available on-line through WebCT as pdf documents of lecture slides.

Academic Integrity

Students are responsible for knowing and observing the requirements of The UNC Charlotte Code of Student Academic Integrity (Policy Statement #105). The code forbids cheating, fabrication, or falsification of information, multiple submission of academic work, plagiarism, abuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty. There are no special requirements regarding academic integrity in this course. The code will be strictly enforced and is binding on the students. Grade and academic evaluations in this course include a judgment that the student's work is free from academic dishonesty of any type; and grades in this course therefore should be and will be adversely affected by academic dishonesty. Students who violate the code can be expelled from UNC Charlotte. The normal penalty for a first offense is zero credit on the work involving dishonesty and further substantial reduction of the course grade. In almost all cases the course grade is reduced to an F. Copies of the Code can be obtained from the Dean of Students Office or me. Standards of academic integrity will be enforced in this course. Students are expected to report cases of academic dishonesty immediately.
