I do not recommend reading additional outside sources on the topics covered in this course. You are encouraged to discuss the readings, lectures and paper topics with other students and with the instructor. However, you must write up your papers by yourself. In addition, if you use any quotations, phrases or even ideas in your papers that you did not come up with on your own, you must acknowledge this fact in a citation. It does not make any difference whether the source is a book, encyclopedia article, oral conversation, web site or anything else.
Academic accommodations are available for students with documented disabilities.
Please schedule an appointment with the instructor early in the semester to discuss any accommodation that may be needed for the course.
