Instead of using this chart, instructors may prefer to assign numerical scores from across the range for a letter grade. If you receive a paper with a letter grade but no numerical equivalent, you should refer to this chart for the numerical score conversion. For all essays, the first 50 points of the grade are based on your following the full writing process. Evidence of the writing process , especially for the three essays before the final, must be submitted via e-mail throughout the semester. You are expected to understand the meaning of the term plagiarism and the penalty to which you are subject if you plagiarize a paper.
Plagiarism is unethical, illegal, and just plain wrong.
On the first offense, the student who plagiarizes will receive a grade of zero on the assignment. On the second offense, the student will receive a grade of zero on the assignment and may be suspended from the class. Students may withdraw from the College and all classes during the first five class days of the term without penalty. Withdrawn courses will not appear on the student's transcript. Withdrawal of courses after the first five class days, but before the end of the first 30 calendar days of the term will be reflected on the student's transcript.
