Other Regular attendance is strongly recommended as in almost every session a new topic will be studied and practiced. Students will benefit significantly by participating in class practices, and completing and handing in homework on time. The students are expected to participate in written and oral activities and do the related assignments given during the course. The students have to send their assignments to
[email protected] on time. Classroom Code of Conduct Students at Koç University are required to adhere to classroom code of conduct and to refrain from all forms of unacceptable behavior during lectures. The activities which are prohibited in class include and are not limited to: -Engaging in side conservations. -Using cell phones and other electronic devices. (All cell phones should be switched off before entering the lecture room. If you expect a very important call, please switch your phone to silent mode and let your professor know in advance that you may receive a call.)
-Using laptops for purposes that are not course-related. -Arriving late or leaving early without the prior permission of the instructor. (If you have to leave during class for an emergency, please try to minimize the disruption.) -Reading material, e.g., magazines, newspapers, novels etc., that are not course-related. -Working on personal activities or the assignments of other courses. -Interrupting the professor or other students. (Students should request permission from the instructor before asking questions or making comments.) -Trashing the classroom. Eating and drinking are allowed as long as impact on others is minimized and students clean up their garbage after class. Failure to comply with the Classroom Code of Conduct may result in dismissal from class and disciplinary action.
Academic Dishonesty Statement on Academic Honesty with Emphasis on Plagiarism Koç University expects all its students to perform course-related activities in accordance with the rules set forth in the Student Code of Conduct (http://vpaa.ku.edu.tr/academic/student-code-of-conduct). Actions considered as academic dishonesty at Koç University include but are not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and impersonating. This statement's goal is to draw attention to cheating and plagiarism related actions deemed unacceptable within the context of Student Code of Conduct: All individual assignments must be completed by the student himself/herself, and all team assignments must be completed by the members of the team, without the aid of other individuals. If a team member does not contribute to the written documents or participate in the activities of the team, his/her name should not appear on the work submitted for evaluation. Plagiarism is defined as 'borrowing or using someone else's written statements or ideas without giving written acknowledgement to the author'. Students are encouraged to conduct research beyond the course material, but they must not use any documents prepared by current or previous students, or notes prepared by instructors at Koç University or other universities without properly citing the source. Furthermore, students are expected to adhere to the Classroom Code of Conduct (http://vpaa.ku.edu.tr/academic/classroomcode-of-conduct) and to refrain from all forms of unacceptable behavior during lectures. Failure to adhere to expected behavior may result in disciplinary action. There are two kinds of plagiarism: Intentional and accidental. Intentional plagiarism (Example: Using a classmate's homework as one's own because the student does not want to spend time working on that homework) is considered intellectual theft, and there is no need to emphasize the wrongfulness of this act. Accidental plagiarism, on the other hand, may be considered as a 'more acceptable' form of plagiarism by some students, which is certainly not how it is perceived by the University administration and faculty. The student is responsible from properly citing a source if he/she is making use of another person's work. For an example on accidental plagiarism, please refer to the document titled 'An Example on Accidental Plagiarism'. If you are unsure whether the action you will take would be a violation of Koç University's Student Code of Conduct, please consult with your instructor before taking that action.
