Institutional Student Evaluation Policy (ISEP): ISEP is designed to promote equitable and effective evaluation of student learning. The policy describes the rights and obligations of students, faculty, departments, programs, and the College administration. This course outline has been prepared in conformity with ISEP. The full policy is available on the Dawson College webpage.
Literacy Standards: The Computer Science Department recognizes that literacy in all its forms is essential. In graded activities, teachers may deduct up to 10% for grammar, spelling, punctuation and/or syntax errors.
Academic Integrity Policy: Cheating and Plagiarism are serious offences and will result in failure in the assignment, test or exam, or entire evaluation component and may also result in failure of the course. Further disciplinary action might be taken. Every instance must be reported, with explanation, in writing, to the appropriate Dean. (ISEP Section V-A)
Code of Conduct: “Everyone has the right to a safe and non-violent environment. Students are obliged to conduct themselves as stated in the Student Code of Conduct and in the ISEP section on the roles and responsibilities of students.” (ISEP section II-D).
Professional Conduct: Faculty members in the program are responsible for assessing student behaviour in terms of suitability to the profession, advising students that exhibit inappropriate behaviour, and reporting said behaviour to the Program Coordinator when necessary. (ISEP section IV-O.2)
Attendance Policy: “Students should refer to the Institutional Student Evaluation Policy (ISEP section IV-C) regarding attendance.”
Policy on Religious Observances Statements: “Students observing religious holidays must inform their teachers, in writing, as prescribed in the ISEP Policy on Religious Observances, no later than the end of the second week of the impacted semester or term. This applies both to the semester or term, as well as to any final examination period.” (ISEP section IV-D).
