EXAMS AND QUIZZES
The quizzes and exams will consist of multiple choice, true/false, and/or short answer questions. A make-up exam will be given only in extreme circumstances and only if the instructor receives prior notice.

Individuals missing an exam or quiz will receive a grade of zero. Quizzes will be on the reading material from the textbook chapter assigned for that class day and must be finished no later than 9:00 pm on the due date. There will be a time limit to take the quiz once started, e.g., 5 minutes. Assistance from the instructor on quiz taking will only be available between 8:00 and 9:00 pm on the due date. Quizzes will be released a day or two before it is due. There will be a time limit to take the quiz once started, e.g., 5 minutes.

If students do not have high speed access available at their home or other preferred location, s/he should take their quizzes at GSU’s computer lab where it is available. Students will not be given any additional time or a make-up quiz if there is a delay in taking each quiz question, computer freeze, disconnects, etc. while attempting the quiz on a computer outside of GSU’s computer lab.
WEBCT STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY
Students are required to check their e-mail, the bulletin board on the course WEBCT site, announcement area, and the assignment area the morning of each class session.

Examples of changes that could be listed (but not limited to just these items) are: changes in an assignment, changes in reading assignment, quiz announcement, etc.

All assignments submitted electronically should be in Word format (.doc) and the file uploaded via the Assignment Module in WEBCT. The assignment file’s name should consist of the student’s last name, space, first name, space, and assignment chapter number (for example if I was handing in the tenth assignment on week 12, chapter 10, discussion questions the file’s name would be Ferreira Raymond 10.doc).

DEPARTMENTAL DRESS POLICY FOR GUEST SPEAKERS AND FIELD TRIPS
Recognizing that image is very important in making a good first impression, the following standards for dress and demeanor shall be required when representing the School of Hospitality Administration at any university, professional or social functions (unless specifically stated to the contrary).

GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY'S POLICY ON ACADEMIC HONESTY
As members of the academic community, students are expected to recognize and uphold standards of intellectual and academic integrity. The university assumes as a basic and minimum standard of conduct in academic matters that students be honest that they submit for credit only the products of their own efforts. Both the ideals of scholarship and the need for fairness require that all dishonest work be rejected as a basis for academic credit. They also require that students refrain from any and all forms of dishonorable or unethical conduct related to their academic work.
The university's policy on academic honesty is published in the Faculty Affairs Handbook and the On Campus: The Undergraduate Co-Curricular Affairs Handbook. The policy represents a core value of the university and all members of the university community are responsible for abiding by it tenets. Lack of knowledge of this policy is not an acceptable defense to any charge of academic dishonesty. All members of the academic community -- students, faculty, and staff -- are expected to report violations of these standards of academic conduct to appropriate authorities. The procedures for such reporting are on file in the office of the dean of the College of Business Administration, the office of the dean of students, and the office of the provost.
Examples of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to plagiarism, cheating on examinations, unauthorized collaboration, falsification, and multiple submissions. Definitions of these examples are given in the policy and if a student has any question regarding these terms, they should refer to the policy. Remember, ignorance of the policy or definition of a term is not an acceptable defense to academic dishonesty.
In determining whether or not academic dishonesty has occurred, the standard that should be used is that guilt must be proven by a preponderance of the evidence. This means that if the evidence, which indicates that academic dishonesty occurred produces a stronger impression and is more convincing as to its truth when weighed against opposing evidence, the academic dishonesty has been proved. In other words, the evidence does not have to be enough to free the mind from a reasonable doubt but must be sufficient to incline a reasonable and impartial mind to one side of the issue rather than to the other. Evidence used in this statement can be any observation, admission, statement, or document which would either directly or circumstantially indicate that academic dishonesty has occurred.
Unauthorized collaboration is not allowed on exams, tests, quizzes (in class or on-line/webct), case analysis, course projects, and assignments that are not listed as a group project in this course.
