Academic honesty is an absolute requirement for students taking Molecular
Genetics. Dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted
to the
full extend available to the instructor. Academic dishonesty is defined as
cheating on exams, quizzes and assignments, or plagiarism.
The Rutgers University Academic Integrity Policy can be found at
http://a
cademicintegrity.rutgers.edu/integrity.shtml. It is every
student's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the policy and to
adhere to it. To help students to familiarize themselves with the policy a
representative from the Office of Student Judicial Affairs will give a 35
min presentation. Attendance at the presentation is mandatory. A recent
revision gives faculty the authority to adjudicate Level I and Level II
violations within the dictates of the policy. <

The instructor goes to
great lengths to identify and obtain information about students engaging in
academic dishonesty. Students contemplating the theft of a few points
should consider the severe repercussions of getting caught. Do you feel
lucky today? |
| ATTENDANCE- Is voluntary, but lecture
attendance is highly recommended and encouraged. |
| GRADING- 3 common hourly exams each valued at 25% of
the final grade. 10% of the final grade will consist of an
unspecific number of class and homework assignments. The remaining 15% of the final grade will be based on class participation using the iClicker system. For students seeking to improve their grade an
optional term paper assignment is available. Details can be found

Exam grading and grievance policy- Although the best possible
effort is made to grade exams accurately, mistakes will invariably occur.
Please review graded exams carefully and report errors in writing to Dr.
Leustek by email or paper mail. A photocopy of your exam will be
consulted to make a judgment on the error and a response will be given in
writing by email. Please DO NOT seek a response to a grading question
during c
lass or by chance encounter |

Posting of Exam and final grades- Your record in Molecular
Genetics can be accessed from the
On-line Grading System at

| MAKE-UP EXAMS- Taking an exam at an
alternate time is possible if prearranged with the instructor. Make-up of
exams and assignments is only possible
if a documented and dated reason for
missing class is presented. Examples include a Dean’s letter, a physician’s
letter, a police incident report or other official document explaining why
you were unable to attend class. Contact information of the entity providing
the documentation must be included. If a valid excuse is provided the missed
exam will be made up at the discretion of the instructor with either another
exam, a work assignment, or by having the final exam gra
de serve in lieu the missed exam. |
