Plagiarism is defined as the unacknowledged use of another persons labor, ideas, words or assistance. Turning in work for one class that was completed for another class is another form of academic dishonesty that may result in a failing grade for the assignment or the course. A guide to writing a research paper, complete with guidelines for proper citation techniques, will be made available through the course web page well in advance of the project paper due date. If you are unsure how to properly cite material, or whether or not certain material needs to be cited at all, please see me at once. Refer to the Undergraduate Bulletin Plagiarism and Academic Cheating link for details on the policy.
Exams are to be taken only on the days they are scheduled.
There will be no make-up exams, the only exception being extreme situations, i.e., illness documented by a doctor's note, or some other verifiable and serious problem. Late papers will have a full letter grade deducted for each calendar day late, starting immediately after the class they are due. The University deadlines will be strictly followed. Incompletes will be allowed in extreme cases only. It is up to each student to be familiar with this policy.
