I450/I451 - Designing and Developing an Information System

Course Policies

Attendance.
We expect that students will approach the course as they should a professional job - attend
every class.  Lecture outlines will be provided to assist you in following and organizing the
course material, but are by design not a verbatim transcript of what is covered in the lectures. 
If you cannot attend class we would appreciate your notifying us that you will not be present -
an email is sufficient.     

Academic Integrity.
As with other aspects of professionalism in this course, you are expected to abide by the
proper standards of professional ethics and personal conduct. This includes the usual
standards on acknowledgment of joint work and other aspects of the Indiana University
Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct.
  Cases of academic dishonesty will
be reported to the Office of Student Ethics, a branch of the Office of the Dean of Students.
   

Withdrawal.
Wednesday, October 26, is the last day to drop a course or withdraw from all courses with an
automatic `W'. After that date, a student may withdraw only with the permission of his or her dean.
This approval is normally only for urgent reasons related to extended illness or equivalent distress.

Incomplete grade.
An incomplete (I) final grade will be given only by prior arrangement in exceptional circumstances
conforming to university and departmental policy which requires, among other things, that the student
must have completed the bulk of the work required for the course with a passing grade, and that the
remaining work can be made up within 30 days after the end of the semester.

Observance of Religious holy days or holidays.
The University policy on accommodating absences related to religious holy days or holidays can be
found at http://www.indiana.edu/~deanfac/holidays.html.  A form that students are required to use
can be found at the same site.  You should let me know if you will be absent early in the semester.
