Academic Integrity:
All work you do for this class is expected to be your own, and academic
dishonesty (including, but not limited to, plagiarism on papers or
cheating on exams) will be punished. Students who engage in this
activity will be expelled from the class. A summary of the University’s
definitions and procedures concerning academic integrity can be found

of the class how to cite references and credit sources so that you might
avoid inadvertent breaches.
The lecture content and all instructional materials used in this course
are copyrighted material. As such, no individual may use any lecture
content or instructional materials for any purpose other than his/her
immediate education. Taking of notes for someone else or an
organization, especially for sale or profit, is strictly prohibited.
Appeal of Grade:
The College of Music and Fine Arts and Loyola University allow a
student to receive a grade of "Incomplete" in those extremely rare
circumstances in which a student, who is currently passing, cannot
complete the course toward the end of the class because of a
documented excuse. Normally, a student should withdraw from the
university when a student cannot complete the course. A grade of
"Incomplete" cannot be given to avoid failing the course. Do not ask
the instructor for an "Incomplete" grade if (1) you are failing the
course, (2) it is past mid-semester, and (3) you do not have an
extraordinary and compelling reason not to finish the class.

assigned course work for any evacuation of more than 48
