Exam and Assignment Make-Up Arrangements: Effective September 9, 2009, all Faculty of Engineering students must use the Student Medical Certificate form to document any medical situation in order to ask for consideration for a missed academic responsibility. The form is available and can be printed from the course website on CLEW. The Associate Dean's office will not accept other medical notes from physicians. The instructor reserves the right to transfer the weight of a missed test, presentation, or other assignment to another of similar nature or to the final exam as appropriate

A supplemental examination is allowed in this course, and the final grade for the supplemental evaluation will include the student’s term work grade.

Plagiarism Policy:
The University’s plagiarism policy is reproduced below from the Undergraduate Calendar Winter 2005: Plagiarism is defined as: "The act of appropriating the literary composition of another, or parts of passages of his or her writing, or the ideas or language of the same, and passing them off as the products of one's own mind." (Black's Law Dictionary) It is expected that all students will be evaluated and graded on their individual merit and all work submitted for evaluation should clearly indicate that it is the student's own contribution. Students often have to use the ideas of others as expressed in written or published work in preparing essays, papers, reports, theses and publications. It is imperative that both the data and ideas obtained from any and all published or unpublished material be properly acknowledged and their sources disclosed. Failure to follow this practice constitutes plagiarism and is considered to be a serious offense. Thus, anyone who knowingly or recklessly uses the work of another person and creates an impression that it is his or her own, is guilty of plagiarism. Plagiarism also includes submitting one's own essay, paper, or thesis on more than one occasion.
