Your instructor may award bonus points for assigned work that is exceptionally good relative to prevailing norms.

Bonus Points
Occasionally, I will award bonus points for individual and/or team assignments and/or participation in class when I consider the work arising from it to be “exceptionally well done.” Therefore, bonus points may be awarded often or not at all depending on the quality of class participation and/or work turned. Bonus points rarely exceed one or two percent of total points available per assignment. Notice, however, that additional bonus credits can be earned by responding to the invitation to write an “optional” or “additional” essay concerning my article about Organizational Cultural Practices and Organizational Ecologies; see the Grading Matrix above.

Instances where academic misconduct occurs include, but are not limited to, falsification or misrepresentation of material used in the admission process, presenting the work of others as one's own, theft, plagiarism and cheating. These actions pose a threat to the academic integrity of the University and its mission and will be treated accordingly. Academic misconduct is subject to disciplinary sanctions. These sanctions include, but are not limited to, reprimand, probation, suspension and dismissal. Students are required to familiarize themselves with the specific protocols of their school or college, available in each respective dean's office or college/school Academic Policy Handbook. Students also have the responsibility to consult the University of Detroit Mercy Student Handbook for further information on other academic policies and University procedures.

No credit will be awarded for your work turned in to your instructor more than 24 hours after the due date/time unless you have made prior arrangements with the instructor due to valid extenuating circumstances.

Tardiness Tardiness can be disruptive and we need all the class time available so you should make every effort to arrive on time to each class meeting. If you are excessively tardy, points will be removed from your participation score. If you have a constraint on “on-time” arrive, please let me know so that I do not get the “wrong impression” of you based

on this behavior. I have no desire to “punish” unavoidable tardiness. At the same time, I cannot forgive this behavior if you do not alert me to the reason(s) for absence(s).
