Course Policies for ULI101

Assignments

• Assignments consist of sections that must be completed before one can move to the next section.
• The assignments are each composed of six sections. Each section is worth 1.5 marks, plus there is an additional mark given if all 6 sections are completed by the due date, for a total of 10 marks for each assignment.
• There are 3 assignments, so the total marks attributed to the assignments is 30 marks.
• Assignments must be completed on time for full credit, the due dates for each assignment are given on the main page of that assignment.
• There are no late penalties, but assignments completed after the last day of classes will not receive credit.
• Students are responsible to know assignment due dates. Again, these are indicated both within the assignments and within this website.

Assignment due dates will not be extended.

Quizzes, Mid-term Test, and Examination

• Students are responsible to know the time and location of quizzes, the midterm test, and the final exam.
• Students who miss a quiz, test or examination will receive a mark of "0" unless they can submit appropriate documentation that clearly states why they were unable to complete their test or examination and the absence is discussed with faculty.
• The above mentioned documentation must be provided within a week of your missed test or exam.
• Students who legitimately miss a test may have the missed test mark derived from the marks of remaining tests or be given a make up test.

Cheating & Plagiarism

• Each student should be aware of the College's policy regarding this subject. Seneca's Academic Integrity Policy will be strictly enforced.
• Cheating will not be tolerated. For a first offense student's are given a grade of zero (0). For a second offense they may be expelled from the School of Information and Communications Technology. Each case is permanently noted on the student's transcript.

What constitutes cheating?

• Plagiarism.....copying all or part of another person's assignment or test.
• It does not matter whether the person you copy from is a registered or former student, or a non-student.
• If you cut and paste something directly from the Internet and do not give appropriate credit.
• If you copy text from a book and do not give appropriate credit.
• If you copy entire pages from a book or the Internet and do not submit any original thoughts or work along with it.

General

• All email communications with college staff must be made from your MySeneca account. This allows us to be certain of a student's identity.
