This course is not based around lecturing. Instead much of our learning in this course will come through classroom interaction. Because we will discuss, question, and explore ideas in this class, the success of this class depends to a large degree on creating a respectful environment. Our classroom must be a place where people feel like they can voice their opinions and ask questions. Therefore, we must all work to construct a respectful, open environment for all concerned.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class.
Any assignment turned in after the start of class on the due date will be considered late. It includes, but is not limited to, cheating on a test or examination, claiming the work of another as your own, plagiarizing any paper, research project, or assignment, or falsely submitting material to fulfill course requirements. Cheating includes unauthorized copying from the work of another student, with or without that student's consent, using notes or other unauthorized material during a test period, and giving or receiving assistance from another when it is expected the student will perform his or her own work. Falsifying data to show either the process or the product of scholarly examination to be different from what actually occurred is also considered dishonest. This includes falsely reporting attendance or participation in any field- work experience.
