As usual, borderline grades will in part be resolved by the instructor's subjective evaluation of the quality and amount of your involvement in this course. Students who do not actively participate by either initiating discussion or responding to discussions initiated by others on a regular basis will receive a significantly lower grade than those engaged in the course. However, all late work will be penalized. Discussion dates are particularly critical to the progress of students in this course. Please read the following section carefully.
Academic dishonesty is a corrosive force in the academic life of any university.
It jeopardizes the quality of education and depreciates the genuine achievements of others. Students must not allow others to conduct research or prepare any work for them without advance authorization from the instructor. This includes the services of commercial term paper companies. Substantial portions of the same academic work may not be submitted for credit or honors more than once without authorization. A student should acknowledge reliance upon the actual source from which cited information was obtained.
