Academic Honesty Policy The academic honesty policy as described in the University Faculty Handbook as well as the Student Handbook will be strictly enforced. Please review the document Academic Honesty Policy. Other topics related to student conduct are available at https://codeofconduct.gsu.edu/.

1. All assignments are supposed to be individual work and any collaboration or cheating would result in a zero score for the assignment.
2. A second incident of dishonest work will result in an automatic F grade for the class.
3. It is also the repsonsibility of each student to protect his or her work including computer files etc from being extracted by others. Computer accounts will be de-activated immediately if the student is found to have been careless in maintaining his or her files (i.e. has kept them open for others to read!). If such carelessness results in another student copying the computer files and submitting them for the assignments all students involved will automatically get a zero for the assignment.

Note: Deviations from this syllabus may be necessary during the semester and changes will be announced in class.
