Prof. Byron's Teaching Policies

These policies will be followed for all of Dr. Byron's courses unless otherwise noted on the course syllabus:

Adherence to the schedule

Homework assignment: No make-up or late homework assignments will be accepted (but in most courses you get to drop a homework grade).
Exams: Students arriving late for an exam will not be admitted if another student has already left the room. Make-up exams: Students requesting to take an exam at a special time must provide significant documentation for their scheduling conflict, and must take the exam before the scheduled time.

Academic Honesty
Students are expected to know and abide by OSU's policy on academic integrity. Any work you submit, whether in a homework set or on an exam, must be your own creation, unless exclusions are explicitly described (for instance, CSE630 students may use code from the textbook's code repository with proper attribution). Collaboration is allowed for working out general principles and establishing your knowledge of the material presented in the course, but you should not show your work to another student, receive a copy of work done by another student, or copy any work created by another student - whether a paper or electronic copy. All instances of suspected academic misconduct will be reported to the department chairperson and the Committee on Academic Misconduct. Violations of the student code of conduct often result in the student receiving a failing grade in the course. The best way to avoid the temptation to cheat is to start on your assignments in time to ask for help from the instructor or grader. It is in your best interest to learn the material included on the homeworks in order to perform well on the exams. Don't jeopardize your GPA by flouting the standards of academic integrity expected of OSU students.

Accommodation for Disabilities
Students with disabilities are encouraged to discuss their needs with me as early in the quarter as possible. I am happy to make accommodations as long as you alert me to your requirements.
