I believe, and there is much evidence to support this, that writing helps you to clarify your ideas. It will certainly help you learn and analyze the material we study. All assignments must be properly cited and follow MLA Style. Citing means that whenever you use a resource to gain information or ideas which are not general knowledge or your own, you must provide documentation in order to give credit to the authors of the information and to allow anyone reading your paper to either check your research or read more of the work from which you are drawing. At the end of your assignment a list of sources used, or a Works Cited page, is also required.
Incomplete documentation is plagiarism.
Professional honesty is expected in all forms of course work. Any dishonesty or cheating may result in you failing the course or being brought before the Student Conduct Committee depending on the severity of the offense. At minimum, the assignment will receive no credit. See any changes to this schedule and announcements here. Journal questions are provided here in paragraph format.
