PS 1 is due on Sept. 18, PS 2 is due on Oct. 23, and PS 3 is due on Nov. 13. If you find someone else who has a nearly identical answer but received more credit than you, I will not necessarily raise your grade. That person may have received more than they deserved and the proper action would be for me to lower that person's grade. The term paper is due on Friday, Dec. 1 in class. Term papers must be written in your own words.
Extensive quotations make for a very poor paper.
You may not work together with anyone on an individual term paper. If you are writing a group term paper, you may work together only with the 1 or 2 other members of your group. Term papers may not be written on objects that are part of the course syllabus. A list of such forbidden topics is part of this packet. I will not assist in topic selection for the term papers after Monday, Nov. 20.
