The paper represents 25 percent of the total grade. It must be turned in within one week of the due date and a good faith effort made in order to complete the assignment. Students who do not complete the assignment will fail the course. For every day late after the due date, the paper is late, it will lose one letter grade. Do not plagiarize.
Plagiarized papers receive an automatic failing grade.
If you have any questions about whether something is plagiarized, ask before turning in the paper. Since this assignment is part of the university's Writing Across the Curriculum program, the grade will involve an evaluation of a combination of good writing, good spelling, grammar and intellectual content. Please give an analysis of the material presented. Be sure to proofread and check your spelling. Grammar, spelling and correct sentence structure are very important and are evaluated.
