Grading
NOTES:
Students are advised that grades in studio courses are based on attendance, active participation, attitude, work ethic, overall improvement/progress, technical level and performance potential. Grades are determined primarily by the instructor’s observation and work accomplished in class over the semester. Due to the nature of this course, class attendance is crucial and mandatory and will affect final grades.
Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
