Please check your messages before or after class time.  Use of cell phones, texting, Web surfing, listening to iPods/MP3 players or use of other devices is not allowed during class time.  All such devices should be turned to “silent” before class begins. I will ask you to remove ear buds and other such devices.  If you anticipate an emergency (e.g., spouse going into labor), let me know ahead of class and I will grant permission for you to leave the device turned up.  In the case of unanticipated emergencies, have the person contact Ms. Martha Rajaei at 570-662-4771.  She can come to SH 208 in under one minute to let you know about the emergency.
 

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY STATEMENT
(University)

"Students are expected to do their own academic work. Dishonesty in academic work, including cheating, academic misconduct, fabrication, or plagiarism is unacceptable. Faculty are expected to instruct students in ways of avoiding these forms of academic dishonesty. Faculty are also responsible for assessing and reporting all charges of academic dishonesty to the Office of the Provost. The student handbook, The Mountie Manual for upperclassmen, or The Student Planner for freshmen, outlines the procedures faculty will use to initiate disciplinary action in cases of academic dishonesty.

 Faculty are responsible for informing students of course evaluation criteria, for adherence to the stated criteria, and for determining grades in a fair and equitable manner. If a student charges that a faculty member has discharged professional duties in an improper, arbitrary, discriminatory, or otherwise unjustified manner, the complaint will be considered by the procedures outlined in The Mountie Manual for upperclassmen or The Student Planner for freshmen."
 

EXCEPTIONALITIES
(University)
“Any student with documented psychological or learning disorders or other significant medical conditions that may affect their learning should work with Mr. William Chabala in our Counseling Center (phone: 662-4798; e-mail wchabala@mansfield.edu) to provide me with the appropriate letter so that I may serve your particular needs more effectively. If you have an exceptionality that requires class or testing accommodations, Mr. Chabala will work with us to identify and implement appropriate interventions.”
