Chemistry Departmental Policy on Plagarism<br />
Introduction : A departmental policy on plagarism has been written and will be strictly enforced.<br />
Additional information : Students accused of plagarism will be given the opportunity to explain<br />
the event. One formal warning will be given and a record of the offense kept on file with the<br />
department. Any subsequent offenses will result in a course grade of zero and the matter will be<br />
brought to the attention of the dean. This policy is consistent with the university’s policy on<br />
Academic Dishonesty described in the university calendar<br />
Departmental Policy on Completion of Course Work<br />
<strong>Information</strong> : The Department of Chemistry considers that completion of all components of a<br />
course is necessary for a student to be given credit in that course. Therefore, it is the policy of the<br />
Department that a student must complete, and hand in if applicable, all material associated with<br />
each component of the course. This applies equally to work that is handed in or completed too<br />
late to earn any marks in the course, in conjunction with the policy of the course instructor on<br />
lateness.<br />
Students who fail to meet this requirement for reasons that would make it reasonable to assign an<br />
“incomplete” mark for the course should consult the instructor well before on which final marks<br />
are due for the course in question. In the absence of an incomplete standing being assigned, the<br />
student will receive a mark of “0” and an “F” grade in the course.<br />
DSO Policy<br />
Introduction : It is <strong>Trent</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s intent to create an inclusive learning environment. If a<br />
student has a disability and/or health consideration and feels that he/she may need<br />
accommodations to succeed in this course, the student should contact the Disability Services<br />
Office as soon as possible. Complete text can be found under Access to Instruction in the<br />
Academic Calendar.<br />
Additional information : The DSO is found at Bata Library, Suite 109, 748-1281,<br />
disabilityservices@trentu.ca<br />
Clicker Misconduct Policy<br />
Introduction : As clicker records are used in this course to compute a portion of course grades,<br />
the use of a clicker other than your own is an academic offence. In lecture or tutorial, possession<br />
of more than one clicker, or that of another student, may be interpreted as intent to commit an<br />
academic offence.<br />
Late Assignment and Lab Report Policy<br />
Introduction : Assignments and lab reports submitted after their due date are not accepted.<br />
Additional information : All course work must be handed in on time. It may be possible, on very<br />
rare occasions and only by prior arrangement with the instructor or lab administrator, to submit<br />
work electronically. Workload issues and poor time management are not acceptable reasons for<br />
late or electronic submissions. Documented cases of illness and similar circumstances beyond<br />
your control may be considered on a case by case basis.
