Other policies

Teamwork, collaboration, and helping each other:

For tasks intended for group work, you are expected to find a partner and share the tasks among the group members. In a group project, effective teamwork is critical to maximize the productivity of the whole group. In the submitted work, identify components and indicate percentage contribution by each member to each component.

For tasks not intended for group work, individual submission is required. In this case, you are encouraged to discuss among your friends on how to attack problems. However, you should write your own solution. Copying other people’s work is strictly prohibited.

Academic dishonesty:

Cheating is a very serious offense. It will be dealt with in the most severe manner allowable under University regulations. If caught cheating, you can expect a failing grade and initiation of a cheating case in the University system.

If in doubt about what might constitute cheating, send an e-mail to your instructor describing the situation. If you notice anyone cheating, please report it to the instructor or the TA. Do not deal with it yourself.

Discrimination:

State and Federal laws as well as Iowa State University policies prohibit any form of discrimination on the basis of race, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, disability, or status as a U.S. veteran. Language or gestures of discriminatory nature will not be tolerated. Severe cases will be reported to appropriate offices. See ISU policies at http://www.hrs.iastate.edu/hrs/files/reaffirmation.pdf

Let us make every effort to work together and create a positive, collegial, caring, and all-supportive learning environment in our classroom, laboratory, TA office, and instructor office.

Access Statement for Students with Documented Disabilities:

Iowa State University is committed to assuring that all educational activities are free from discrimination and harassment based on disability status. Students requesting accommodations for a documented disability are required to meet with staff in Student Accessibility Services (SAS) to establish eligibility and learn about related processes. Eligible students will be provided with a Notification Letter for each course and reasonable accommodations will be arranged after timely delivery of the Notification Letter to the instructor. Students are encouraged to deliver Notification Letters as early in the semester as possible. SAS, a unit in the Dean of Students Office, is located in room 1076 Student Services Building or online at www.sas.dso.iastate.edu. Contact SAS by email at accessibility@iastate.edu or by phone at 515-294-7220 for additional information.

Accommodation for religion based conflicts:

Iowa State University welcomes diversity of religious beliefs and practices, recognizing the contributions differing experiences and viewpoints can bring to the community. Students with a religion based conflict should talk to the instructor and appropriate university offices to request accommodations at the earliest possible time.
