Those taking this course for graduate credit will be required to do
an individual graphics project selected by the instructor. This project
may involve graphics concepts that extend beyond the scope of the
undergraduate course. Particular areas of interest of the student will
be given due consideration in selecting a project. This will necessitate
an adjustment in grading as follows: programming exercises (10%), Four
OpenGL projects (40%), a midterm (20% ), individual project (10%) and a
comprehensive final examination (20%) .
AREA: Academic Affairs
NUMBER: Policy 2.19
SUBJECT: Academic Honesty
The Mission Statement of Mississippi
College makes it clear that the university exists to contribute to the
growth and development of human beings who
understand their lives in terms
of Christian responsibility and service. Various supporting documents bear
witness to the singular importance of these
emphases in the life of the university.
The Strategic Goals of Mississippi College articulate the university's
commitment to prepare students for lives of
personal and civic responsibility
in at least six of its twelve stated goals. The General Education Purpose,
Goals and Objectives, a document created by the
Core Curriculum Committee and approved
by the faculty, divides the General Education Program at Mississippi College
into three learning areas. One of
these areas is Personal Values
and Attitudes. An outcome objective associated with this area is the empowerment
of students to "develop skills for making
responsible moral choices based
upon an understanding of biblical principles." In keeping with the high
ideals reflected in these goals, purposes, and
objectives, the university expects
its students to be scrupulously honest. The university's emphatic commitment
to honesty and fairness in academics is given
expression in the following policies
that relate to academic integrity. Faculty members will make every effort
to assure conditions of honesty for all course
requirements, including examinations
and outside assignments. However, this does not diminish in any way the
students' ultimate responsibility for observing
the principles of academic integrity
in all aspects of their conduct.
