Academic Honesty

All students should practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or disciplinary sanction by the University. I expect you to adhere to the standards set forth in the Student Conduct Code. The Code is available for review online at: http://www. umt. edu/SA/VPSA/index. cfm/page/1321.

Here are some guidelines for this course.

You should complete all tests (including the final) and quizzes without

consulting outside sources and without help from another individual. All work on these exercises should be solely your own.

Working with other students on homework can be quite helpful, and this practice is fine and even encouraged as long as you adhere to a few simple rules. 

A.  It is always permissible to consult with other students to review general concepts (i. e., when to use genitive case, case usage after numbers, the difference between imperfective and perfective aspect). 

B.  You may work on individual homework assignments with other students, but you need to make this a truly collaborative effort. The majority of answers to a given assignment must be solely your own, and when you share information, everyone must participate actively.

You may consult with native or heritage speakers only on general issues of Russian grammar. You should not ask a native speaker for help on individual assignments. Feel free to practice your Russian with anyone you wish, however (and I strongly encourage you to attend Russian-related functions on campus). The more you use your Russian, the better it will become!
If you are unclear about whether certain forms of consultation or common work are acceptable, please ask me.

The University of Montana assures equal access to instruction through collaboration between students with disabilities, instructors, and Disability Services for Students (DSS). If you think you may have a disability adversely affecting your academic performance and you have not already registered with DSS, please contact DSS in Lommasson 154. I will be glad to work with you and DSS to provide an appropriate accommodation.

SYLLABUS        

*Nota Bene* – The syllabus which follows is intended as a general syllabus. I reserve the right to change assignments, add homework to daily assignments or to make modifications at any time during the semester. I will, however, make every effort to keep major assignments (e. g. test dates, oral exam) as they are listed below.
