VI. Academic Integrity
Each student in this course is expected to abide by the Gadsden City High School Code of
Academic Integrity. Any work submitted by a student in this course for academic credit will be
the student's own work.
You are encouraged to study together and to discuss information and concepts covered in lecture
and the sections with other students. You can give "consulting" help to or receive "consulting"
help from such students. However, this permissible cooperation should never involve one student
having possession of a copy of all or part of work done by someone else, in the form of an email, an e-mail attachment file, or a hard copy.
Should copying occur, both the student who copied work from another student and the student
who gave material to be copied will both automatically receive a zero for the assignment. Penalty
for violation of this Code.
During examinations, you must do your own work. Talking or discussion is not permitted during
the examinations, nor may you compare papers, copy from others, or collaborate in any way.
Any collaborative behavior during the examinations will result in failure of the exam.

Final Exam
With every test, a one page report/paper will be due. This is part of you test grade. The
paper should be on a pathology of what our topic was for that unit.
Describe disease, what are its symptoms, Its effects on the body, and what and how
does our fight against the disease. Also any cures for the disease and how its treated.
