- Assignments, Exams and Tests: Each meeting consists of updates, announcements, discussion of any issues related to completion of projects, and scheduled presentations of final ADPs

However, the student is expected to notify the instructor of his/her absence prior to the missed class or as soon as possible if prior notification is not possible, and must provide documentation of the emergency. Students will receive no credit for quizzes, exams, or presentations missed due to an unexcused absence. Any planned absences should be discussed with the instructor in advance. No make-up quizzes or assignments will be given. For late assignments, one letter grade will be deducted per 24 hour period that the assignment is late.

Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from class due to the observation of a major religious observance must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in writing, by the second class meeting.
- Policy on Make-up Work: Policy on Make up work found in Attendance Policy:
The USF policy on Academic Integrity and Academic Dishonesty which can be found at: http://www.grad.usf.edu/inc/linked-files/USF_Grad_Catalog_2009_2010.pdf, pages 31-44, will be followed in this course. Any form of cheating or aiding others who cheat on examinations constitutes unacceptable deceit and dishonesty and will result in an automatic grade of “F” for the course.
Any form of cheating on examinations or plagiarism on assigned papers constitutes unacceptable deceit and dishonesty. Disruption of the classroom or teaching environment is also unacceptable. The University of South Florida has very specific policies and procedures regarding academic dishonesty or disruption of academic process. In the School of Aging Studies, we value academic honesty and good conduct in the classroom and as such, we strongly adhere to university guidelines with regard to departure from these conventions. Punishment for academic dishonesty may include a zero grade on the specific assignment, and can result in failing the class altogether.
