What to Expect: |
This course provides (1) an introduction to the biology and identification of insects and (2) an introduction to insect pest management. Emphasis is placed on the application of entomology in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and everyday life. There are two lectures and one lab session each week ... attendance is necessary. Grading is based on two lecture exams, two lab exams, and quizzes. |
Academic Integrity: |
Students are responsible for reading and understanding the policies described in the University of Illinois Student Code (http://www.admin.uiuc.edu/policy/code). For this course, students are advised specifically that:
- Use of old examinations, whether provided by the instructor or available in fraternity, sorority, or other organizational files, as study aids for exams IS permitted.
- Unless specifically announced otherwise, use of any external assistance -- including written, printed, or recorded information -- during examinations or quizzes is strictly prohibited and is a violation of the Student Code.
- All work submitted by a student must be his or her own work. Copying from others during exams or quizzes and allowing others to copy your work during exams or quizzes are violations of the Student Code. Similarly, the optional, extra-credit insect collection submitted for this course must be each student's own work. Students may not claim specimens collected by others; doing so is a violation of the Student Code.
- Violations of the Student Code will automatically result in a score of zero for the exam, quiz, or assignment in question and a written notice of warning will be issued, with a copy to the student's file in the office of the college in which he or she is enrolled and to the Senate Committee on Student Discipline. The instructor reserves the right to recommend that proceedings be initiated to suspend or dismiss the student from the University of Illinois.
