This would instead be considered &#8220;lacking evidence of course material&#8221; or an &#8220;absence.&#8221; In these cases, the following consequences would not apply; however repeated patterns of submitted work which lack required course materials may result in the student being dropped as evidence of non-attendance.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consequences for cheating:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any fraction of a student&#8217;s response which incorporates unapproved sources or tools will be considered cheating and will either result in a&nbsp;negative one (-1) for the entire assessment or being dropped from the class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first instance of cheating, depending on the level and context of the cheating, one of the following will occur:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u00a0Because this syllabus and our course honor code is considered the first warning, the student may be dropped from the course immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Or the assessment will receive a negative one (-1), but the student can remain in the class.\u00a0 A warning will be provided in the assignment comments, and will simply read something to the effect of, &#8220;review our course policies on academic honesty\/course ethics.&#8221; This is considered a second warning. The aim of a -1 is not meant to be symbolically punitive, but rather to allow me to track cheating. It is the student&#8217;s responsibility to check all comments immediately after work is graded and contact the instructor with any questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students who cheat will not be eligible for any potential extra credit or extension opportunities.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Students may lose access to content instruction material (readings\/lectures\/videos) while completing corresponding assignments, requiring students to work entirely from their notes.
