turnalarn@mef.edu.tr Students missing an exam for a good reason (e.g., if they have a doctor’s report) may be given a makeup exam at the instructor’s discretion. Students are expected to treat university personnel and one another respectfully at all times; this includes showing respect for class content and for others’ opinions. Plagiarism (copying, copy-paste) includes copying sentences or significant sections of sentences from other sources. This can be from other students’ work, or from sources such as books, articles and websites, even if that source is cited in the student’s work. All instances of plagiarism, or other cheating, will result in a grade of zero for that assignment. There will be no opportunity for makeup exams or assignments where plagiarism or other cheating has taken place. |
