Email is an especially convenient and effective way to get questions answered. All assigned work is due at the beginning of class on the assigned date. Late portfolios will not be accepted without prior notice. Exceptions to this policy will be made only at my discretion and will depend on the credibility you have established with me as a responsible and industrious student. Treat the class like a job you would like to keep.
Plagiarism means taking credit for someone else's words or ideas.
The university considers plagiarism an offense that warrants serious penalties, including the possibility of receiving an F in the course. For a fuller discussion of plagiarism, consult pages 13-15 and 28 of The Guidebook for College Composition Courses. This syllabus gives you an idea of what to expect this quarter, but I reserve the right to make changes in it anytime the needs of the class seem to require such. However, if changes become necessary, I will notify you ahead of time.
