Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Disability Access Services (DAS). Students with accommodations approved through DAS are responsible for contacting the faculty member in charge of the course prior to or during the first week of the term to discuss accommodations. Students who believe they are eligible for accommodations but who have not yet obtained approval through DAS should contact DAS immediately at 541-737-4098. | Accommodations are collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Disability Access Services (DAS).

+ | * We encourage students to work with classmates, other students, and the faculty. | ||
+ | * Homework solutions from previous years are very strictly off-limits. You are on your honor not to use them, and never to share your homework solutions with other students, now or in the future. | ||
+ | * Sources must be appropriately documented. If you follow a line of reasoning from another text, reference it properly (it will help you locate the resource later, too). If someone else helps you solve a problem, reference that too. In a research paper, the appropriate reference would be: Jane Doe, (private communication). | ||
+ | * Plagiarism - representing someone else's work as your own - is unethical, but collaboration and exchange of ideas is healthy. | ||
+ | * It is very important to be constantly aware that your behavior is in strict compliance with the letter and the spirit of the rules concerning professional conduct. |
