This is a very serious offense representing intellectual theft. Plagiarism will result in a grade of 0 for the assignment and possible failure of the course. Any quotation, paraphrase, or even idea taken from another source must be properly documented, using MLA documentation. Because this course is a survey of American literature, various worldviews are represented in the works of various authors. Sometimes the worldview includes language and situations which are not compatible with the Christian worldview.
Assignments are to be read prior to the class session where they appear.
