Code of Student Conduct The honor code prohibits lying, cheating or stealing when these actions involve academic processes or University, student or academic personnel acting in an official impair significantly the welfare or the educational opportunities of others in the University community. As a student at UNC-CH, you have accepted a commitment to the Honor Code and the Campus Code, and the principles of academic integrity, personal honesty, and responsible citizenship on which they were founded more than 100 years ago. Academic dishonesty in any form is unacceptable because it circumvents the purpose of the University. As a faculty member, I have a responsibility to report any possible Honor Code violations to the Student Attorney General. I hope that you will join me in supportin the Honor Code by signing the Honor Pledge on all written work, and consulting me if you are uncertain about your responsibilities within this specfic course. -from Chancellor Hooker's letter to All Members of the Faculty, Aug 1995 |

AOL Instant Messenger I am a firm believer of adapting my teaching style to fit the needs of students. Everybody communicates their thoughts effectively in different ways whether it is through speaking, writing, body language, etc. Many times as a student, I have often wanted to ask a question but was afraid to, in fear of embarrassment in front of my fellow classmates. To address those concerns as well as those who prefer to communicate through writing, I am open to students asking questions via AOL Instant Messenger during class time. My AOL screen name is markonassis. |
