Policies

Your path towards learning the course content of Nutrition 10 will go a little more smoothly if we all understand the following policies. If you have any questions about any of this, please reach out to me. 

DeAnza College values academic integrity as an essential component of academic excellence. Students are expected to be truthful and honest in their academic work. 

I expect all of my students to be truthful and honest in their work.

Any student found taking part in any form of academic dishonesty will receive no points or grade for the academic task completed without integrity.

Here are a few Examples of Academic Dishonesty 

• Having someone other than yourself take a Test

• Any form of plagiarism 

• Giving your academic work to another student to plagiarize 

• Communicating with anyone other than your instructor while taking a Test: Talking, text message, e-mail, etc. 

• Turning in another person's Diet Assignment (or any part of it), representing it as your own 

• Copying part(s) of the Diet Assignment from another person’s work 

• Lying to an instructor or college official to improve your grade

NOTE: The Office of the Dean of Student Affairs & Activities maintains a record of students who have engaged in academic dishonesty.

If you choose to drop the course, you can do this through MyPortal.  

There are various dates for dropping - dropping with a full refund, without the course being on your record, with a W for Withdrawal. Check the DeAnza calendar for those dates for this quarter. 

If you realize you are not passing the class and it is after the deadline to drop with a W, please do not ask me to drop you. I have no ability to drop you after that date.  Monitor your course standing throughout the quarter so there are no surprises in the last 2 weeks.

Often referred to as "netiquette," here is a gentle reminder of the interaction practices and rules we'll follow in all our interactions in this course. 

Please read this short article and watch the very brief embedded video on this topic.

If you ever feel that someone is not following these rules, please get in touch with me to share your concerns.
