Review Sessions

Before each examination, the professor will arrange to hold a review session in the evening in order to help students prepare for the coming test. Students should keep notes, bring their review handouts, and be prepared to answer questions in order to complete their pre-examination review. The professor will announce the time, day, and classroom at a later date.

Academic Honesty

Students are advised that cheating or plagiarism, the deliberate copying the work of others without the proper citation of that work will not be tolerated. If a student is caught cheating or plagiarizing the work of others, he/she could face immediate failure of the paper/test as well as other sanctions deemed appropriate by university authorities. As a consequence, all test books will be turned into the professor at least one week before each examination.

University ADA Statement

Emporia State University will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students need to contact the Director of Disability Services and the professor as early in the semester as possible to ensure that classroom and academic accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion. All communication between students, the Office of Disability Services, and the professor will be strictly confidential.
