Notes En général à l’université il faut compter passer autant de temps en lisant et en étudiant qu’on ne passe en classe. Nous nous réunissons pendant deux heures et demie chaque

semaine, donc vous devriez travailler au moins deux heures et demie hors de classe. La note finale se basera sur ce que le professeur considère que vous avez accompli au cours du semestre. Tout travail en retard sera accepté à la discretion du

professeur, et la note sera bien diminuée (au moins une « letter grade »). The following grading standards apply across all courses in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Grades for assignments, projects, exams and the course will reflect student performance in the following criteria: “A+” is for exceptionally excellent work -- Student exemplifies attention to detail and going beyond guidelines to display superior initiative on all assignments; “A” is for excellent -- clearly better than very good and reflecting special research, aesthetics, theory, excellence, abilities and/or effort. Excellent quiz and test scores; “A-” is for very good, reflecting strong performance on all course requirements and for making regular and important contributions to the course; “B+’’ is for finishing all the course requirements and doing a very good job on each of them or doing a good job on some of them and an exceptional job on a few of them. Student displays initiative and thoroughness on all assignments; “B” is for completing all course requirements in an extremely consistent manner that displays a continued desire to improve and push ones abilities to the next level. Good quiz and test scores. Simply completing all the assignments is not sufficient to earn an “A”, “A-“, “B+”, “B” in the course; “B-” is for slightly above standard performance on all course requirements. Student shows potential and some effort but has not pushed their execution and ability to the next level; “C” is for completing all course requirements without special distinction; “D” and lower are for poor performance and generally mean that the student is not progressing well in the course.

Grades will be assigned on the following scale (points achieved divided by total possible points) A+ = 98-100% A = 93-97% A- = 90-92% B+ = 87-89% B = 83-86% B- = 80-82% C+ = 77-79% C = 73-76% C- = 70-72% D+= 67-69% D = 63-66% D- = 60-62% F > 59%

Code of Conduct As a University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center student (or taking a UCDHSC class) you are expected to abide by the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center Student Code of Conduct. The following is

a link for the University of Colorado at Denver Student Code of Conduct: http://carbon.cudenver.edu/public/studlife/01pages/Codeofconduct.html

Academic Honesty You are expected to do you own work. All work submitted should include citations or other indications when other's work is included with your own. Representation of other's work as your own is considered cheating. This includes plagiarism, work purchased from "paper mills" and sharing of test answers. If the instructor suspects cheating she may, at her discretion, provide an alternate or make-up assignment. In the case that a student submits works with inconsistencies in answers--such as correctly identifying a person on a multiple choice question and misidentifying the person in an essay question--the instructor may deduct points for both questions. This course of action will be taken when the instructor determines that the student has provided a correct answer that was not based on their knowledge of the material. The instructor may make use of anti-cheating services to ensure that submitted work is original. Finally, cheating diminishes the value of your learning. If you find yourself struggling in this course, please contact the instructor!

Other Policies The subject matter and order of course events are subject to change at the instructor's prerogative. It is CLAS policy that all materials created by a student for this course must adhere to proper and correct applications of spelling, punctuation and grammar. Deviations from these expectations can result in student work being rejected for evaluation and/or grading. You must not produce inflammatory, profane, plagiarized or otherwise inappropriate material for this class. Failure to comply with this policy will result in an "F" for the semester and immediate dismissal from class. You may also face other repercussions from CLAS and the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center. When in doubt, ask the instructor. Disability Services Information To ensure disability-related concerns are properly addressed, students with disabilities who require assistance to participate in this class are expected to contact me as soon as possible. To be eligible for accommodations, students must be registered with the UCDHSC Office of Disability Resources and Services (DRS) (Arts Building, Room 177; 303-556-33450, 303-556-4766 TDD).

Fall 2011 CLAS Academic Policies The following policies pertain to all degree students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). Schedule verification: It is each student’s responsibility to verify online that his/her official registration is correct: verify before classes begin and prior to the drop/add deadline. Failure to verify schedule accuracy is not sufficient reason to justify a late add or drop. E-mail: Students must activate and regularly check their official student email account for CU Denver business: http://www.ucdenver.edu/studentservices/Pages/WebMail.aspx. Those who forward email to a private account are still responsible for checking their official student e-mail account for messages not automatically forwarded. Waitlists: Students are not automatically notified if they are added to a class from a waitlist. Students are not automatically dropped from a class if they never attended, stopped attending, or do not make tuition payments. Waitlists are purged after the 1st week of classes, after which a paper Schedule Adjustment Form (drop/add form) is required. It is the student's responsibility to get the form (online or at the Advising Office, NC 4002), have it signed, deliver it to the Registrar (Annex 100) or the Student Services Center (NC 1003), and verify her/his schedule online. Late adds (after 7 September) will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late add are beyond the student’s control. This will require a written petition and verifiable documentation. Petition forms are available in NC 4002. The signature of a faculty member on a Schedule Adjustment Form does not guarantee that a late add petition will be approved. Late drops (after 14 November) will be approved only when circumstances surrounding the late drop have arisen after the published drop deadline and are beyond the student’s control. This will require a written petition and verifiable documentation. The signature of a faculty member does not guarantee that a late drop petition will be approved. Tuition: Students are responsible for completing arrangements with financial aid, family, scholarships, etc. (depending on tuition plan selected) to pay their tuition prior to Census Date (7 September). Students who drop after that date are (1) financially responsible for tuition and fees, (2) academically responsible and will receive a "W" grade, and (3) are ineligible for a refund of COF hours or tuition. Graduation: Undergraduate students wishing to graduate in fall 2011 must complete the online Intent to Graduate Form and meet with their academic advisor to obtain a graduation application. This application must be submitted by Census Date (7 September). You can obtain an application only after meeting with your advisor. There are no exceptions to this policy. Graduate students wishing to graduate in fall semester 2011 must complete the online Intent to Graduate form and have a Request for Admissions to Candidacy on file with the CU Denver Graduate School
