Repeated failure to contribute to class discussion, workshop groups, and presentations will negatively affect your attendance and participation grade even if you come to every class on time. Writers face deadlines. It is expected that all assignments will be submitted on time. If papers are submitted late there will be a penalty on your final grade. Late papers cause problems for your group members who rely on you to read and respond to their writing.
Plagiarism is a serious offense.
I expect all of the work you do this semester to be your own. Any student who violates the trust of intellectual property will receive an F in the course and may be subject to other consequences from the University. We will be talking about research and how to attribute research. If you have any questions about how to cite sources please ask me and refer to the MLA Handbook . You will receive comments from me and your classmates that will guide you through the revision process.
