PSY 101 – Introduction to PsychologyCourse PoliciesUse of E-mail to Communicate with the Instructor/TA1) E-mail should not be used to ask for information that can be found in the syllabus, or which has beenprovided in other documents available on Canvas. Messages asking for such information will beignored.2) Questions regarding course content should not be asked via e-mail. It is usually very difficult to explainconcepts in an e-mail, and attempts to do so often lead to confusion and misunderstanding. Instead, youare encouraged to ask a classmate, or come to office hours.3) E-mail is the preferred way to notify the instructor if you will be unable to take an exam or submit anassignment on time, or for other communications where it is important to have a record of what was saidand when.4) You should allow one business day for the instructor to respond to an e-mail before re-sending themessage. In particular, you should not expect responses on weekends or outside of business hours.Use of Electronic Devices in ClassElectronic devices may only be used in class for class-related purposes (like taking notes). Texting your friendsduring class, checking your Facebook page, or making on-line purchases are not acceptable.IllnessIf you have a cold, the flu, or any other contagious illness, you should not attend class. You will not bepenalized for missing class due to illness, however, you are responsible for checking with a classmate regardingwhat you missed, and going over the material we covered on your own time. If you still have questions afterdoing that, you should come to office hours or make an appointment with me. If missing class would cause youto miss an exam, you are still responsible for notifying the instructor in advance (see next section).Policy on Missed Exams1) You will be permitted to make up one exam during the quarter if either of the following applies:a) You know you will be unable to take the exam at the regularly scheduled time, and you contact theinstructor prior to the time of the exam to make alternative arrangements. The instructor reserves theright to decide what are acceptable reasons for missing the exam, and may ask for documentation ofyour reason.b) You are unable to take the exam at the regular time due to an unforeseeable emergency, and you areable to document this emergency and explain why you couldn’t contact the instructor in advance.2) Make-up exams must be taken as soon as you are able to resume attending classes.Policy on Late Assignments1) Unless otherwise specified, all assignments are due by the beginning of class on the date indicated onthe syllabus.2) Assignments submitted late will receive a late penalty of 50%. Late assignments will not be acceptedmore than 3 days after the due date.3) A late assignment is considered excused if either of the following applies:
a) You know you will be unable to submit an assignment on time and notify the instructor inadvanceb) You are unable to submit an assignment on time due to an unforeseeable emergency, and you areable to document this emergency and explain why you couldn’t contact the instructor in advanceFor an excused late assignment, you will typically receive an extension. Provided you are able to submitthe work by the end of that extension, no late penalty will be applied. However, the instructor reservesthe right to determine the appropriate duration of the extension, based on the nature of the assignmentand the circumstances. Extensions can be as short as an hour and as long as several days. If an in-classactivity depends on having an assignment completed by class time, the instructor may decide not togrant an extension.Academic IntegrityAcademic integrity is about what kind of people we are – our character and our respect for both others andourselves. And in this class, it is also about respect for the process of science. Cheating on an exam is likemaking up data, and plagiarism is like claiming someone else’s discovery as your own.Because science relies on a free exchange of ideas, students are encouraged to discuss material and assignmentswith anyone they wish. However, unless otherwise indicated, the actual assignments and exams must be thestudent's own work. Furthermore, student work should clearly distinguish between the student's own words andideas, and words and ideas taken from someone else, using quotation marks and citations as appropriate. Whenin doubt, consult the instructor.
