All public history students should participate in community history activities. Over the course of the semester a number of opportunities will be announced in class. In addition to class and local community participation, this course requires satisfactory completion of nine written projects which are identified in the weekly assignments. Each project will be discussed in class in advance of the due date, and all projects are described below. All students are expected to attend and participate in every class.
All projects are due on the date assigned.
It is the responsibility of the student not only to abstain from cheating, but, in addition, to avoid the appearance of cheating and to guard against making it possible for others to cheat. Any student who helps another student to cheat is as guilty of cheating as the student assisted. The student should also do everything possible to induce respect for the examining process and for honesty in the performance of assigned tasks in or out of class. Honesty requires that any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged. The language or ideas taken from another may range from isolated formulas, sentences, or paragraphs to entire articles copied from books, periodicals, speeches, or the writings of other students.
