Evidence from materials outside of class is acceptable as long as it is used to augment not replace evidence from the assigned class readings. You must provide citations for every quote, paraphrase, and reference to evidence in your paper. Your paper must include a Works Cited page at the end listing the sources used in your paper. Contact me at any point during the writing process if you have questions concerning my grading policies or the information presented in this guide. I am very interested in your success as a critical thinker and an analytical writer.
Academic dishonesty is the highest form of disrespect.
By turning in work that you have not created, you are showing the greatest disrespect to your fellow classmates who did spend the time and the energy to produce original essays. You are essentially proclaiming that you deserve a grade without doing the work that the rest of the class has done. No professor or instructor will not tolerate academic dishonesty in any form.
