Instead, only on the first page, write your name, the course, my name, the date, and the paper assignment at the top of the left hand margin. You should also have a title that provides a good description of your paper. You may want to look at different types of rhetorical structures that I use for my English 100 class to give your papers some shape and focus. These structures can be found at rhetorical structures. This information should be single spaced, and the rest of your paper should be double spaced.
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense.
Please refer to Diana Hacker's Rules for Writers Research Writing, especially sections 51 and 53 for a definition of plagiarism and ways to avoid it. I reserve the right to alter the syllabus at any given time throughout the semester. However, if I have not stated an alteration to the syllabus, assume that I expect the work to be done on that day. After doing the reading, you should prepare one or two in-depth questions that you want to pose for classroom discussion. Throughout the semester, I will randomly choose students to present leads or may ask you to hand in your leads for a grade.
