CLASS ROOM RULES OF CONDUCT

1. Cellular phones should be “turned off’/“Silent mode” during the class.

2. Students are advised to frequently refer to the Student Handbook of North South University on the
following link:

http://www.northsouth.edu/student-code-of-conduct.html
3. Academic Integrity Policy:

Academic dishonesty of any type will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to, plagiarism
(copying others work and representing it as our own—in part or in total—without the appropriate
citations) and copying others responses during the exams.
In addition, classroom professionalism is to be maintained at all times. This means that when the
Instructor is speaking or when Students are presenting their ideas, the classroom should he silent, with
the exception of invited questions. As in any academic environment questions are welcome, but informal
chatter or communication among class members becomes a distraction for all those in attendance and
will not be tolerated.
No talking or other forms of communication with other students will be allowed when exams are being
distributed. The ‘no talking’ requirement is enforced during the exam and continues until all students
have handed their exam in to the instructor. Any talking during the exam will disqualify you from taking
the exam. It is my (and all other professors) expectation that your academic work for the course will be
performed without resorting to cheating, plagiarism, lying, and/or bribery. Any student engaging in any
of these behaviors will be dealt according to North South University's code of conduct.

EXAMS, QUIZ & MAKE UP POLICY

Quiz may not be made up for any reason. All exams will be given over the designated class period. The
exams must be taken at the scheduled times. Exams may not be made up unless arrangements are made
prior to the class period for which they are scheduled. Additional instructions may be provided by your
Instructor, and if so, students must comply with such instructions and failure to do so will result in
disciplinary actions.
Cell phones are prohibited in exam sessions.
