Conduct

All students will be expected to abide by the Odessa College Code of Classroom Etiquette.  If you fail to abide by these rules, you will be asked to leave the classroom or be removed completely from the class. A further list of class rules can be found on the class website. This is titled Student Responsibilities. Your signature on this page will be your first quiz grade in the class, so you will need to go to our website at http://www.odessa.edu/dept/math/mstreet/home.htm and print out this page.

 

Cheating

Cheating is not tolerated in this class. The first time you are caught cheating, you will receive a 0 for that assignment. The second time you are caught cheating, you will be removed from the class permanently and receive an F for the course. If you are caught allowing someone to cheat from your work, the same punishment applies as that of the cheater.
