| General |
Honesty and academic integrity are required. Students are expected to behave as mature, responsible adults in adherence
with University policies. |
| Work ethics and academic standards |
To earn highest marks, students must demonstrate that their knowledge,
skills and work habits in the subject area meet international
University-level academic standards.
- Attend all classes.
Attendance will be monitored, and missing many classes will
probably reduce your coursework grade.
- Be on time and prepared.
- Participate actively.
- Complete all assigned work.

| Submitting coursework |
To submit coursework, send it by e-mail attachment to
gvogl@umu.ac.ug before the start of class on
the due date. Submitting in advance is safer and encouraged. Late coursework
can be accepted only in rare circumstances of unexpected personal hardship, in
which case both a written explanation from the student of why the assignment
was late, and verifiable written evidence from an outside source, would be
required. |
| Backups |
Making backups of your coursework is your own responsibility, and will
help you avoid losing
work due to computer or disk failure. It is recommended that you purchase a box of 10 diskettes to
store backup copies, and keep copies of each file on at least two different
disks. You may also consider purchasing CD-R or CD-RW discs if CD-RW drives
and CD burning software become available to students, since a CD can hold
500 times as much as a floppy disk. |
| Group work |
Working with others is an essential skill for all university graduates
and professionals. You are
encouraged to work with your classmates. Also, please do not hesitate to
contact the lecturer if you have any course-related questions, problems, suggestions
or further interests. |
| Plagiarism |
Although computers make copying easier, copying without understanding
will not help you learn. Every student must create his or her own files. You
may work with a friend who can assist you verbally, but you should not copy
your friend's work and submit it as your own. Clearly acknowledge your
sources (state where you obtained the information). If there is doubt as to
the original author of the coursework, the instructor cannot give full
credit (e.g. two students submitting an almost identical assignment, unless
the coursework was assigned as group work). |
