  2. Study the basic processes in learning and instruction. (C, LEA)
  3. Design appropriate instructional models. (C, LEA, R)

Academic Dishonesty and Students with Disabilities

Students with Disabilities Academic Dishonesty
Students with disabilities requiring accommodations to participate in class activities or meet course requirements should contact me as early as possible. All disability information will be held in confidentiality as required by law. In the academic community the high value placed on truth implies a corresponding intolerance of scholastic dishonesty. Written or other work which a student submits must be the product of his/her own efforts. Plagiarism, cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty, including dishonesty involving computer technology, are prohibited.

In cases involving academic dishonesty, determination of the grade and of the student's status in the course are left solely to the discretion of the instructor. In such cases, where the instructor judges a student guilty of academic dishonesty, the instructor is encouraged to report the incident of dishonesty to the director of the Office of Student Life in order to discern potential patterns of egregious dishonesty.
