Academic Integrity


The academic integrity policy in Math 132 is based on the College of Arts and Sciences Academic Integrity Policy. All the items discussed there apply in this course.

In addition, and more specifically for Math 132:

In cases where there is sufficient evidence suggesting that cheating might have taken place on any Math 132 assignment, quiz, or exam, the evidence will be forwarded to the Academic Integrity Committee of the College of Arts and Sciences for adjudication.  Both the instructor and the student(s) involved will be asked to appear before the Committee to answer questions.

If the Committee finds that cheating occurred, it will impose a penalty. The Committee can impose a reprimand or disciplinary probation.  Also, in cases where cheating is found to have occurred, it is not unusual for the Committee also to recommend to the instructor that the student receive a "0" for the assignment or exam, or even a failing grade for the course (a grade not removable through retaking the course).

In more severe cases (second offenses, or case with other aggravating circumstances), the Academic Integrity Committee can also recommend suspension or expulsion to the University Judicial Board.   

Using an inappropriate calculator, or using any calculator in situations where no calculator is permitted, will be considered an academic integrity violation.  Any electronic communications (phone calls, text messages, communications through other forms of social networking) during a quiz or exam are an academic integrity violation.
