Course Requirements: Students will be required to complete one in-class assignment (topics will be given by the instructor), three quizzes (of which two with the highest scores will be counted towards the final mark), a class presentation on a selected topic, and a 60 minutes final examination. The final examination is compulsory. Students who are absent from the final examination will fail the course. In-Class assignment needs to be handed in on the same day. Late work will not be accepted. There will be no make-up quiz, in-class assignment, presentation or final examination.

Classroom Policies No talking on your mobile phones during lecture. If you need to use the phone, ask for permission and talk outside the lecture room. No eating during lecture, this is basic courtesy. If you need to leave the lecture room for any reason, inform the instructor. Punctuality Be punctual for class. If you accumulate 3 “lates” it will be counted as 1 absence. General UB Program Policies Attendance and active participation is expected by all students in every class. Students are expected to be present for the entire duration of each class. Tardiness to or absenting oneself during class will result in a deduction from the attendance and participation portion of the final grade. Late assignments, if accepted, will be penalized. Students who are absent from a midterm exam must request a make up exam from the course instructor; a make up will be given only if there is an appropriate, documented reason for absence from the exam (such as an MC); any disputes regarding the validity of the reason or the documentation may be referred to the student advisor. Students who are absent from a final exam must formally request a make up exam in writing to Ms. Katie Fassbinder, Assistant Resident Director, within 24 hours of the original exam. The make up exam request form can be found in SIMConnect. In all cases, supporting documents must be provided and a make-up exam will only be scheduled if there is a valid and appropriate reason for the absence. For

example, prior commitments to external activities or events outside of SIM are not considered a valid reason for absence. For medical cases, students must submit a detailed letter from the doctor, highlighting the date of the medical consultation, the nature and the severity of the illness, and how the illness prevented them from taking the scheduled exam. Medical Certificates (MC) will not be accepted for make up final exams. Disputes may be referred to the Resident Director. There will be no make ups for other course assessments, and students who are absent from such assessments will receive a zero. UB Statement of Principle on Academic Integrity: The University at Buffalo has a responsibility to promote academic honesty and integrity and to develop procedures to deal effectively with instances of academic dishonesty. Students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for appropriate citation of sources, and for respect for others’ academic endeavors. By placing their name on academic work, students certify the originality of all work not otherwise identified by appropriate acknowledgements. Additionally, students are expected to understand and abide completely by the following guidelines for academic integrity in all UB courses: Plagiarism, cheating, and other incidents of academic dishonesty will result in an automatic failing grade for the course. Depending on the severity of the violation, your case may also be reported to UB for further investigation and may result in expulsion from the university. Plagiarism consists of copying work from another source without giving proper citations. You must not copy information from printed materials, internet sources, or from the work of other students. If you are uncertain about how to submit your work correctly, consult the instructor immediately. Any claim of ignorance of the rules of academic integrity by any student is unacceptable. Reasonable Accommodations and Accessibility Resources for Students with Disabilities Reasonable Accommodation refers broadly to reasonable modifications of policies, practices, and procedures as necessary to ensure that persons with disabilities have the same opportunities as others in all programs, services, and benefits of the University at Buffalo. Anyone with a disability who needs reasonable accommodations in the SIM-UB Program should refer to the Student Handbook (available online via SIMConnect) for further information, or consult the Resident Director.
