Other policies
Lab Safety
Safety in the lab is a number one priority
for students and instructors and to ensure a safe laboratory experience, a
brief safety presentation will be given the first day of lab. It is mandatory
that all students attend this presentation. Moreover, it is expected that
students follow any and all posted safety guidelines. For reference, a copy of
the University Laboratory Safety Manual can be found at:
www.ehs.iastate.edu/sites/default/files/uploads/publications/manuals/labsm.pdf
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:
The class will follow Iowa State
University’s policy on academic dishonesty.
Anyone suspected of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Dean of
Students Office.

Cheating is a very
serious offense. If caught cheating, you can expect a failing grade and
initiation of a cheating case in the University system.
Basically, it’s an
insult to the instructor, the department and major program, and most
importantly, to the person doing the cheating. Just don't.
If in doubt about
what might constitute cheating, send 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.
Disability Accommodation
Iowa State University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Sect 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. If you have a disability and anticipate needing accommodations in this course, please contact (instructor name) to set up a meeting within the first two weeks of the semester or as soon as you become aware of your need. Before meeting with (instructor name), you will need to obtain a SAAR form with recommendations for accommodations from the Disability Resources Office, located in Room 1076 on the main floor of the Student Services Building.

Dead Week
This class follows the Iowa State University Dead Week policy as noted in section 10.6.4 of the Faculty Handbook http://www.provost.iastate.edu/resources/faculty-handbook .
Harassment

Iowa
State University strives to maintain our campus as a place of work and study
