the exam that will overlap the class periods assigned by the registrar for all sections of the

•
A request for an excused absence (or the University-provided "Explanation" form) is only
necessary in this course if your absence will prevent you from completing an assignment for
credit or from taking an exam .
•
I excuse absences that go beyond what Rule 7 specifies if I believe the reason for the absence is
morally equivalent to those listed in the rule. (For example, I consider loss of a dear family
friend to be justification for an excused absence to be with your family.) I am the sole determiner
of whether to excuse any absence that exceeds the University requirements.
Makeup Work Policy
Students will be excused from attending class on the day of a graded activity or when attendance
contributes to a student’s grade, for the reasons stated in Student Rule 7, or other reason deemed
appropriate by the instructor.
Please refer to Student Rule 7. in its entirety for information about makeup work, including
definitions, and related documentation and timelines.

Absences related to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 may necessitate a period of
more than 30 days for make-up work, and the time frame for make-up work should be agreed
upon by the student and instructor” ( Student Rule 7, Section 7.4.1. ).
“The instructor is under no obligation to provide an opportunity for the student to make up work
missed because of an unexcused absence” ( Student Rule 7, Section 7.4.2 ).
Students who request an excused absence are expected to uphold the Aggie Honor Code and
Student Conduct Code. ( See Student Rules 20 & 24 .)
Dr. Roblyer's Addendum :
• "Attendance" for an online class is defined as completion of work due by a specific
deadline or of an exam on the assigned day.
• I do not offer makeup opportunities for unexcused absences.
Academic Integrity Statement and Policy
“An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steal, or tolerate those who do.” (Dr. Roblyer's
Note: Why? Because trust is the foundation of honor and of education. Without trust this
university and our world would become a miserable, horrid place.)
“Texas A&M University students are responsible for authenticating all work submitted to an
instructor. If asked, students must be able to produce proof that the item submitted is indeed the
work of that student. Students must keep appropriate records at all times. The inability to
authenticate one’s work, should the instructor request it, may be sufficient grounds to initiate an
academic misconduct case” ( Section 20.1.2.3, Student Rule 20 ).

Dr. Roblyer's Addendum: As a Former Student, faculty member, retired military officer, father,
and Roblyer, I take the Aggie Honor Code very seriously. I want all of you to do the same,
going beyond the memorization of the 13 words it contains to actually knowing why it exists and
how it is enforced. I believe this is so important that I am willing to take time to teach you about
the Aggie Honor System, as well as hold myself and my students responsible for upholding
