We will include women from a variety of different geographical places and ethnic cultures. Most of the sources will be by women themselves. In learning about girls and women, we will of course also be learning about boys and men, maleness and manhood, and the variety of ways cultures have defined gender and sexualities. Any students with special learning needs should speak with me, and provide documentation from Student Services, so that we can work out an appropriate accommodation. Plagiarism Unhappily, some students intentionally or unintentionally usurp the work or ideas of others.
Plagiarism is the single most serious offense against academic and intellectual integrity.
It is theft. Plagiarism can range from a sloppy job of paraphrasing someone else's work to lifting entire sentences, paragraphs, or pages outright from other sources. Neither the University of Florida nor I will tolerate you presenting someone else's words or ideas as if they were your own. Academic Affairs keeps records of students who violate this principle. As the instructor responsible for this course, I have broad discretion to institute appropriate punishments for plagiarism, ranging from failing an assignment to failing you in the course.
