	Students are expected to discuss topics and concepts during both whole-class discussions and small group discussions. When we are working on a lab or assignment, students are to stay on task by either working on their assignment, or by assisting another student with their assignment. Tardiness and unexcused absences will take away from class performance.		Students are expected to discuss topics and concepts during both whole-class discussions and small group discussions.

		+	=== Academic Integrity ===
		+	In this course, collaboration among students is encouraged. However, copying another’s work or allowing your work to be copied is not acceptable and is a violation of Washington-Lee’s academic integrity policy. Students will be asked to sign an honor pledge for each lab or major assignment. By signing the pledge, students acknowledge their understanding of the honor policy and that they have not violated that policy in any way. The pledge states either:
		+	<br>
		+	''"On my honor, I pledge that I have neither given nor received information on this assignment."''<br>
		+	or<br>
		+	''"On my honor, I pledge that I have given [received] information on this assignment to [from] the following individual(s) …."''
