Attendance
Attendance is required on a weekly basis. Students are
expected to view the online lectures in the week they are
offered, and to log onto the site often enough to remain
abreast of the communication on the Message Board as well
as any Class News or information from the Professor. It is the
responsibility of the student to be aware of everything
happening in the class online.
Academic Honesty
Academic honesty is highly valued in Florida Tech's online
courses. The student must always submit work that
represents original words or ideas. If any words or ideas are
used that do not represent those original words or ideas, the
student must cite all relevant sources and provide a clear
definition of the extent to which such sources were used.
Words or ideas that require citation include, but are not
limited to all hard copy or electronic publications, whether
copyrighted or not, and all verbal or visual communication
when the content of such communication clearly originates
from an identifiable source. In the Florida Tech online course,
all submissions to any public meeting bulletin board or
private mailbox fall within the scope of words and ideas that
require citations if used by someone other than the original
author. Academic dishonesty in an online learning
environment could involve:

Having a tutor or friend complete a portion of the
student's assignments
•
Having a reviewer make extensive revisions to an
assignment
•
Copying work submitted by another student to
another public class meeting
•
Using information from online information services
without proper citation
Any of these practices could result in charges of academic
dishonesty. For the complete Florida Tech policy on
academic dishonesty, cheating and plagiarism see the
Florida Tech Student Handbook.
