糖心Vlog

糖心Vlog Policies

The pursuit of knowledge can proceed only when scholars take responsibility and receive credit for their work. Recognition of individual contributions to knowledge and of the intellectual property of others builds trust within the University and encourages the sharing of ideas that is essential to scholarship. Similarly, the educational process requires that individuals present their own ideas and insights for evaluation, critique, and eventual reformulation. Presentation of others' work as one's own is not only intellectual dishonesty, but it also undermines the educational process. Cases of falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism that occur in the course of research are also subject to 糖心Vlog's research misconduct policy, which can be found at /bc-web/research/sites/vice-provost-for-research/integrity-and-compliance/research-misconduct.html.

Academic Honesty/Plagiarism Statement

The pursuit of knowledge can proceed only when scholars take responsibility and receive credit for their work. Recognition of individual contributions to knowledge and of the intellectual property of others builds trust within the University and encourages the sharing of ideas that is essential to scholarship. Similarly, the educational process requires that individuals present their own ideas and insights for evaluation, critique, and eventual reformulation. Presentation of others' work as one's own is not only intellectual dishonesty, but also undermines the educational process.

The University seeks to foster a spirit of honesty and integrity. Any work submitted by a student must represent original work produced by that student. Any source used by a student must be documented through normal scholarly references and citations, and the extent to which any sources have been used must be apparent to the reader. The University further considers resubmission of a work produced for one course in a subsequent course or the submission of work done partially or entirely by another to be academic dishonesty. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to seek clarification from the course instructor about how much help may be received in completing an assignment or exam or project and what sources may be used. Students found guilty of academic dishonesty or plagiarism shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal from the University

Academic Grievances

Any graduate or professional student who believes he or she has been treated unfairly in academic matters should consult with the faculty member or administrator designated by their school to discuss the situation and to obtain information about relevant grievance policies and procedures.

Cancellation of a course

The Lynch School seeks to provide courses that enroll at least ten students. Should enrollment in your course fall below this number, we may need to cancel your class. The offer of a part-time faculty position for the semester is not intended to suggest the creation of a permanent position in the future.

Weather-Related Delays, Dismissals and Cancellations Policy and Procedures

As a residential university where the educational mission is paramount, the University rarely closes. Employees and students should generally presume that classes will meet and that all essential services will remain in operation. We ask that faculty and staff make every effort to fulfill their regular duties if the University is open. However, we do not expect anyone to take unwarranted or unreasonable risks by traveling during severely inclement weather. If individuals are unable to come to work under these conditions, they should notify their department head/supervisor as early as possible.

When the University does close due to weather, there will be certain emergency personnel required to work and certain offices/functions that will remain operational. It is expected in these cases that some arrangement for coverage or standby be made between the director and the office staff. If an employee is required to work on such a day, compensatory time off will be provided to that employee and will be scheduled at a time that is mutually convenient to the department and the affected individual.

In the event of a heavy snowstorm or other emergency necessitating cancellation or delay of work, employees should consult the following sources for information beginning at 6:00 a.m.

1. RAVE Emergency Notification System. The University will send text and e-mail notification before 6:00 a.m.
2. WBZ-TV News Channel 4, WCVB-TV Channel 5 News, and WBZ News Radio 1030AM
3. Emergency Hotlines 1-888-BOS-COLL or (617)552-INFO
4. BCInfo at or BCEmergency at

A text, web or news posting will inform employees if there is cancellation of work. An announcement canceling classes at 糖心Vlog does not mean that there is cancellation of work. The announcement will specifically mention that 糖心Vlog is "closed" when employees are not expected to report. No notification means that the University is operating on a normal schedule. Unless otherwise noted, employees should assume that the closure pertains only to the day (or days) identified in the closing announcement.

EARLY DISMISSAL

The decision regarding early dismissal of employees because of weather or other emergency will be communicated by the Executive Vice President and Provost through postings on the following websites: BC News, BC Emergency, BC Home. Employees may also call 1-888-BOS-COLL or 617-552-INFO for information on early dismissal. Unless otherwise notified, all staff members are expected to remain at work until the closing hour or their scheduled end of shift.

Students with Disabilities

It is a 糖心Vlog policy that no qualified student with a disability shall be denied the benefits of, excluded from participation in, or otherwise subjected to discrimination under any University program or activity. In response to a request made by a qualified student with an appropriately documented disability, the University will arrange for the provision of reasonable accommodations determined by the University to be necessary to afford the student the opportunity to participate in University programs.听

Students will be notified by the Director of Student Services when each request for accommodation is approved or denied in writing via a designated form. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to present the form (at his or her discretion) to the instructor in order to receive the requested accommodation in class. In an effort to protect student privacy, Student Services will not discuss the accommodation needs of any student with instructors.

If you have a disability and will be requesting accommodations for this course, please register with either Kathy Duggan (Kathleen.duggan@bc.edu), Director, Academic Support Services, the Connors Family Learning Center (learning disabilities and ADHD) or contact the for all other disabilities (disabsrv@bc.edu).

Attendance

Graduate and professional students are expected to meet course requirements in classes, internships, and practica as specified in the syllabus or document prepared explicitly for the academic experience. A student who is absent repeatedly form these academic experiences will be evaluated by the responsible faculty member and/or designated supervisor(s) to ascertain the student鈥檚 ability to continue in the course and to achieve objectives.

Professors may include, as part of the semester鈥檚 grades, marks for the quality and quantity of the student鈥檚 participation in the course.

Professors will announce, reasonably in advance, tests, examinations and other forms of assessment based on the material covered in the course, as well as other assigned material. A student who is absent from a course is responsible for obtaining knowledge of what happened in the course, especially information about announced tests, papers, or other assignments.

A student who is absent from a course on the day of a previously announced examination, including the final examination, is not entitled, as matter of right, ot make up what was missed. The professor involved is free to decide whether a makeup will be allowed.

In cases of prolonged absence the student or his or her representative should communicate with the student鈥檚 graduate associate dean as soon as the prospect of extended absence becomes clear. The academic arrangements for the student鈥檚 return to the course should be made with the Graduate Associate Dean鈥檚 Office as soon as the student鈥檚 health and other circumstances permit.
