ACADEMIC INTERGRITY:

 

Students have the responsibility to know and observe the requirements of The UNC Charlotte Code of Student Academic Intergrity (2003-2005 Catalog p. 276). This code forbids cheating, fabrication, falsification of information, multiple submission of academic wrrk, plagiarism, abuse of academic materials and complicity in academic dishonesty. Any special requirements of permission regarding academic integrity in this course will be stated by the instructor and are binding by the students. Academic evaluations in this course include a judgement that the student’s work is free from academic dishonesty of any type; and grades in this course therefore shuld be and will be adversely affected by academic dishonesty. Students who violate this code can be expelled from UNCC. The normal penalty for a first offense is zero credit on the work involving dishonesty and further substantial reduction of the course grade. In almost all cases the course grade is reduced to “F”. Copies of the code may be obtained from the Dean of Students Office or off the UNC Charlotte website. Standards of academic integrity will be enforced in this course. Students are expected to report cases of academic dishonesty to the course instructor.

 

 

A Note to Students: Charlotte English Department Statement on Diversity (April 2009)

 

The English Department strives to create an academic climate that respects people of varied cultural backgrounds and life experiences. As a community of scholars and teachers who study language, literature, and writing, we are committed to nurturing intellectual and aesthetic diversity. In all our activities, we invite participation by diverse groups, including, but not limited to, those who define themselves in the following terms: race and ethnicity; gender; political orientation; sexual orientation; special health needs; age; religion; country of origin; and socio-economic status. Finally, by fostering multiple perspectives in our coursework, we can help our students prepare to participate in our increasingly diverse society, as well as in the global community.

 

 

 

 

The Department of English is committed to the centrality of writing in our curriculum.
