Module Policies
Professor- student communication
● The teacher will contact students via their school email address (IMT-BS/TSP) and the Moodle portal. No communication via personal email addresses will take place. It is the student's responsibility to check their IMT-BS/TSP mailbox regularly.
● Learners can communicate with the teacher by sending an email to his/her institutional address. If necessary, it is possible to meet him in his office during office hours or by appointment.
Learners with accommodation needs
If the learner has a disability that prevents them from completing the work described or requires any kind of accommodation, it is their responsibility to inform the Director of Studies (with supporting documentation) as soon as possible. They should also not hesitate to discuss the matter with their teacher.
Behaviour in class
● As a courtesy to the teacher and other learners, all mobile phones, electronic games or other sound-generating devices must be switched off during lessons.
● The learner must avoid any disruptive and disrespectful behaviour such as: arriving late to class, leaving early, inconsiderate behaviour (e.g. sleeping, reading a document not related to the course, using vulgar language, talking excessively, eating, drinking, etc.). A warning may be given for the first breach of these rules. Offenders will be penalised and may be expelled from the class and/or subject to other disciplinary procedures.
● Tolerated lateness is 5 minutes. Attendance will be declared on Moodle during these 5 minutes via a QR code provided by the teacher at each class start.
● The learner must arrive on time for examinations and other assessments. No one will be allowed into the classroom once the first person has completed the exam and left the room. There are absolutely no exceptions to this rule. No learner may continue to take an exam once the time has elapsed. No learner may leave the room during an exam unless he/she has finished and handed in all the documents.
● In the case of distance learning courses, learners must keep their cameras switched on unless otherwise instructed by the teacher.
Code of ethics
IMT-BS is committed to a policy of honesty in the academic environment. Any conduct that compromises this policy may result in academic and/or disciplinary sanctions. Learners must refrain from cheating, lying, plagiarism and theft. This includes doing original work and acknowledging anyone else whose ideas and printed materials (including those from the internet) are paraphrased or quoted directly. Any learner who violates or assists another student in violating the standards of school behaviour will be sanctioned in accordance with the rules of the IMT-BS.
