Lateness or leaving class early is unacceptable.
If lateness becomes a common problem, the instructor reserves the right to lock the doors.

Academic Integrity/honesty:
All work that you complete in this class should be your own.
Any form of cheating (inc. allowing another student to copy on you) will result in an "F" and a referral to the Dean for further action.
All students admitted to SDSU have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a student at SDSU and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this class and all others.

AI stament:
You are NOT allowed to use generative AI applications in this course except as approved by the instructor. Any use of generative AI outside of instructor-approved guidelines constitutes misuse. Misuse of generative AI is a violation of the course policy on academic honesty and will be reported to the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities (see previous point).

General:
Disrespectful behavior such as eating or reading material not related to the course will not be tolerated.
Any behavior considered a distraction to those around you, including the instructor, will not be tolerated.
Cellular phones should be powered off before entering the classroom.

Participation:
Participation in class is encouraged. If you have a question, ask it! If you do not understand something, say so! Any question that will help you to better understand the material is not stupid. Because of this, I expect you to be patient and respectful of others who ask questions in an effort to do well.

Addenda:
The instructor reserves the right to make modifications to the syllabus. Any addendum will be announced in class (you are responsible for attending class during such announcements).
