9. Statement on Faculty and Student Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics sets the parameters for proper conduct in the classroom by both faculty and students. This is basic but it
underscores the main principle here that we will follow as a team: The faculty member will do his best to provide the best
teaching and learning environment for each student as an individual and the class as a whole. Students will be fairly evaluated in
all their work and the contributions they make to enhance the objectives of the course. Students, on the other hand, will be
responsible for their own, will provide proper documentation when they use the work of others as references, and will respect the
rights of others to contribute to the teaching/learning environment as best suits their comfort level, the capabilities, and their
motivations.
