RULES/POLICIES ON MISSING CLASSES, LATE WORK & PLAGIARISM	:	✦ An 80% attendance is required.  Those who fail to meet this requirement can be barred from taking the final examination.  Hence, it is in your best interest to attend every class because much of the course instruction consists of discussions and in-class presentations and activities.  If you miss class, you cannot ‘make-up’ in class activities, group work, peer reviews/collaborations that count toward your participation grade. ✦ Late work – without valid or credible reason – will simply not be accepted. ✦Academic dishonesty – it is essential that you properly cite the sources used in your writing.  If you are not sure - refer to reliable sources or ASK!  Any student found to have cheated during exams or plagiarized any piece of writing will be reported to the Dean/ HOD, Faculty of Educational Studies.
