I prefer a computer printed journal, but because of the nature of journal writing, it can be hand written. This grade will give you an indication of your level of work and an idea of what you need to accomplish the second half of the semester. Don't be unfair to yourself regarding your college learning experience. Do your own work. You are guilty of plagiarism if you use someone else's words or ideas without using quotation marks and proper documentation.
Plagiarism results in a failing grade for the class.
