11. Academic Integrity Statement:

The university is a community of learners bonded together by the search for knowledge; the pursuit of personal, social, cultural, physical, and intellectual development; and the desire for the liberating effects of an advanced education. California State University, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) has a culture--an academic culture--shared with other universities and colleges across the nation. Integral to that culture is a set of values such as academic freedom, dedication to teaching and learning, diversity, civility toward others, and academic integrity. Academic integrity is of central importance in the university community and involves committed allegiance to the values, the principles, and the code of behavior held to be central in that community. Integrity concerns honesty and implies being truthful, fair, and free from lies, fraud and deceit. Cheating or plagiarism is cause for formal university discipline and is justification for an instructor to assign a lower grade or a failing grade.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism are described and discussed in the University Catalog. This course will be taught in a manner which upholds and enforces those statements. Academic Dishonesty of any sort will not be tolerated and will result in a grade of F for the assignment, quiz, or test, and referral to the Vice President of Student Affairs and to your Dean or Program Director. Dishonesty in this course includes, but is not limited to:

• Dry Lab, Fabrication – creating data without actually performing the experiment
• Falsification or data destruction – changing experimental results; destroying experimental results without notation in your notebook; cherry picking (picking only the experimental results you think are the best); removing pages from your notebook
• Backdating – performing an experiment on a particular date, but stating that it was performed at an earlier date.
• Improper recordkeeping – Recording your measurements somewhere else before writing them in your notebook; Not writing your experiment data directly in the notebook when measured; Transferring existing notebook data to a different notebook; Failure to include supporting data in your notebook (charts, spectra, calculations); Failure to answer the required pre-lab questions in your notebook before starting the experiment.
• Sabotage – messing with someone else’s experiment or supplies, as a joke or for malice
• Plagiarism – presenting someone else’s words, ideas, equations, explanations, conclusions as your own without attribution; failure to cite the source of someone else’s words, ideas, equations, explanations, conclusions; (cut and paste without citation is plagiarism; using your lab manual as a report resource without citation is plagiarism); using a classmate’s or prior student's report or spreadsheet content; copying someone’s report or homework
• Having someone else -- amateur or professional -- analyze your unknowns and claiming the work as your own
• Impersonation – taking a course on behalf of someone else; letting someone take the course on your behalf; having someone else use your clicker in class on your behalf; having someone else perform your on-line assessments for you
• Cheating – using or possessing unauthorized resources during an exam/quiz and in preparation for exams/quizzes; providing unauthorized resources to another student; copying someone’s exam/quiz; Using someone else’s answers for your own on-line assessments

12. Disabled Student Services:CSUDH adheres to the American with Disabilities Act with respect to providing reasonable accommodations for students with temporary or permanent disabilities.

13. Statement of Diversity and Inclusion:

It is my intent that students from all diverse backgrounds and perspectives be well-served by this course, that students' learning needs be addressed both in and out of class, and that the diversity that the students bring to this class be viewed as a resource, strength, and benefit. It is my intent to present materials and activities that are respectful of diversity: gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, and culture. Your suggestions are encouraged and appreciated. Please let me know ways to improve the effectiveness of the course for you personally, or for other students or student groups. Lastly, it is my intention to uphold our class norms. Students who act as a disruption to me or my students will be asked to leave the class.
