All exams are closed book, closed notes, and no cell phones, no electronic or hard copy cheat sheets are allowed. Please go over the Rutgers Academic Integrity Policy.

I do NOT tolerate cheating. Students are responsible for understanding the RU Academic Integrity Policy. I will strongly enforce this Policy and pursue all violations. On all examinations and assignments, students must sign the RU Honor Pledge, which states, “On my honor, I have neither received nor given any unauthorized assistance on this examination or assignment.” Don’t let cheating destroy your hard-earned opportunity to learn.
