Assessment:
Students are required to attend all classes and to complete all assignments. When determining the final grade, the following standards will apply:
Class Participation = 40
Current Issue Report=10
Test 1= 40
Ethical Profile Paper = 40
Ethical Case Study Due= 30
Test 2 = 50

Academic Honesty
Students are required to document in all of written work any information that is not original. Also when a student summarizes information, even when giving the complete documentation information, such summaries should be in the student’s own words and not retain the original author’s style. A paper that presents the ideas or writing of someone else as if they were the student’s own is considered plagiarism, and school and departmental policies on academic integrity will be followed.

Academic Integrity and Mercy College:
Cheating and plagiarism are contrary to the purpose of any educational institution and must be dealt with severity if students’ work is to have any validity. Plagiarism is the appropriation of words or ideas of another without recognition of the source. Professors reserve the right to use all appropriate and available resources to verify originality and authenticity of all submitted coursework. An instructor who determines that a student has cheated or plagiarized will give an “F” for the assignment and may give a grade of “F” for the course. Additionally the faculty member will submit a written report of the incident to the program director and executive dean for academic engagement and planning. Plagiarism and cheating can be grounds for dismissal. The matter is dealt with by the Instructor and the student, in consultation with the director of the graduate program, and school dean.

The Mercy College Policy/Class Practice Regarding Religious Holidays:
Mercy College was founded over half a century ago by the Sisters of Mercy as a Catholic college for young women. Since that beginning, Mercy has seen many changes. Today, Mercy College is a secular institution offering coeducational undergraduate and graduate degrees. The only holidays observed by the college are those national holidays listed in the academic calendar (available on the Mercy College website).
Although no action by a particular professor is required, it is not the intent to place students at a disadvantage because of their religious beliefs and/or practices. For that reason, students should speak with their instructor to see if allowance can be made for any student who faces a conflict between a scheduled class and a religious holiday (which requires that he/she abstain from any work as part of that day’s observance). In the Fall, for example, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah may fall on days of scheduled classes. If you have such a conflict, please contact your instructor to discuss possible alternatives for the work that will be missed. It is best to do this in advance of the date in question (not after the fact).
Students with Disabilities
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 offers guidelines for curriculum modifications and adaptations for students with documented disabilities. If applicable, students may obtain adaptation recommendations from Mercy’s Office of Disabilities Services https://www.mercy.edu/student-life/center-for-student-success-and-engagement/academic-success/office-of-disabilities-services/ 914-674-7523. The student must present and discuss these recommendations with the instructor within a reasonable period, preferably by the end of the Drop/Add period.
