I
utilize
the
Grade
book
feature
in
eCollege,
so
students
will
be
able
to
view
grades
for
each
assignment
as
soon
as
I
post
them.
However,
be
mindful
that
the
grading
scale
in
the
course
(see
above)
DOES
NOT
correspond
to
the
percentages
of
points
displayed
in
eCollege.
If
you
strive
for
a
specific
grade
in
the
course,
be
sure
to
notice
how
many
points
you
need
to
accumulate
to
achieve
that
grade
rather
than
focusing
on
the
percentage
of
points
you
have
earned
in
eCollege.

other forms of academic dishonesty. “Academic dishonesty” includes, but
is not limited to, plagiarism (the appropriation or stealing of the ideas or
words of another and passing them off as one’s own), cheating on exams
or other course assignments, collusion (the unauthorized collaboration
with others in preparing course assignments), and abuse (destruction,
defacing, or removal) of resource materials. Plagiarism will result in a
failing grade for the course.”
