In case of extended excused absences for illness or family emergency, I may, at my discretion, make arrangements with you to complete missed work. Students are expected to be on time for all classes. Late students will enter class in a manner that will minimize disruption to the class. Students arriving 16 minutes or more after the official beginning of class are considered absent for that class. You have an obligation to this class and your classmates to be in class on time and on a regular basis.
Most plagiarism occurs innocently, when a reader fails to credit another's work appropriately.
If you have any question about your work in this context, please ask me for a ruling. Plagiarism can also occur when you study closely with another student. Inadvertently, you begin using the same phrasing or word choices, even the same sources, bringing you very close to plagiarizing another's work. Take particular care especially when you write your required correspondences.
