Avoid last minute technical problems with computers and diskettes by backing up all of your work regularly. Technical problems of this nature will not constitute an acceptable excuse for incomplete or late work. Academic or scholastic dishonesty, such as plagiarism, cheating, or academic fraud, will not be tolerated and will incur the most severe penalties, including failure for the course. All individual work is assumed to be done individually and responsibly. Students who notice behavior that may be academically dishonest should consult the instructor as soon after the event as possible.
All papers are to be double-spaced with margins of no less than one inch on all sides.
