Such approval will be given only in those cases where there are documented compelling medical reasons for the use of such devices. Students will discover that there is a direct correlation between the amount of time invested in the course outside of the classroom, the level of classroom participation, and the final course grade. Students should manage their time carefully, allowing for one hour of study per day for this course, insuring that they will be able to keep up with the assigned readings. Each of these writing exercises will focus on a particular segment of the course, either responding to or analyzing specific reading assignments, allowing the student to engage the pertinent materials during each segment of the course. All papers must be typed, double-spaced, on good quality bond paper.
Papers are due on the dates noted in the syllabus.
Students should note that the study groups form an excellent forum for discussing and sharing ideas about these papers. The nature of the University's mission requires that students be very careful about identifying who is responsible for a contribution to the field of knowledge. Students need to be very aware of the difference between the work they have done on their own and the work that they have received from others. Using work done by others as though it were your own is known as plagiarism. Honesty requires that any ideas or materials taken from another source for either written or oral use must be fully acknowledged.
