5. Course Policy
Academic integrity and honesty are central components of a student's
education. Ethical conduct maintained in an academic context will
be taken eventually into a student's professional career. Academic
honesty is essential to a community of scholars searching for and
learning to seek the truth. Anything less than total commitment
to honesty undermines the efforts of the entire academic community.
Both students and faculty are responsible for ensuring the academic
integrity of the University. (AUB Student Handbook, p. 33)
For definitions of cheating and plagiarism as well as the consequences
for such, see the AUB "Student Code of Conduct" as found
in the Student Handbook (esp. pp. 85-86 and 88) and on the AUB website.
http://pnp.aub.edu.lb/general/conductcode/158010081.html
At minimum, anyone caught in violation of academic integrity will
receive, as per the "Student Code of Conduct," a failing
grade of forty points for the assignment in question. Should the
violation deserve greater punishment, it will be referred to the
Dean and the Dean's Administrative Committee.
Classes meet three times a week: one common lecture and two discussion
sessions.
