Expectations and General Information:
By order of Dean Dr. Udeh, there will be absolutely no food or drink of any kind allowed in any of
the classrooms of the College of Business and Public Administration. If you bring food or drink to
class I will have to ask you to remove it immediately.
We will study the theory and practice of strategic management and business policy in an
atmosphere of integrity, courtesy and partnership.
Integrity means absolute honesty in the preparation of all of your work. Cheating will not be
tolerated under any circumstances. Cheating includes (but is not limited to): bringing
unauthorized materials to the test; looking at, copying from or otherwise colluding with anyone
during the tests; unauthorized relocation or removal of the test script, or submission of any
written work that is not your own.
The University Academic Integrity Policy states clearly that any form of plagiarism or cheating on
exams and papers, or complicity in such acts is punishable by the maximum penalty of expulsion
from the university. The complete policy is published in the Student Handbook. All students are
expected to familiarize themselves with this policy and to understand and abide by its terms. In
addition, please read the following:
The College of Business & Public Administration (CBA) requires its students, faculty and staff to
abide by SUNOs anti Plagiarism policy. Plagiarism at SUNO (see page 92-108 of the SUNO 20092011 Student Handbook) is defined as:
1. Directly quoting the words of others without using quotation marks or indented format to
identify them;
2. Using sources of information (published or unpublished) without identifying them;
3. Presenting or paraphrasing information without identifying the source; or
4. Submitting reports, essays, term papers, tests, etc., of another person as if it were the work
of the presenter.
Plagiarism is considered a Code Three Offense (Major Violation) and as such a faculty
member has the authority to grant a failing grade in case of such academic misconduct, as
well as to refer the case for disciplinary action, including the maximum sanction of
expulsion.
Integrity also includes the consideration of ethical principles. There are managerial practices and
strategies that are not technically illegal, but that most of us would consider unethical. To help
you evaluate the ethics of specific behaviors, please familiarize yourself with the College of
Business and Public Administration Ethics Test.
