Plagiarism will not be tolerated. When you write or speak, present your own work and not the effort of another writer. Plagiarism is easily avoided by using quotation marks when you quote directly, by citing the author whose ideas you are using when you paraphrase, and by never taking credit for writing or for ideas which are not your own. Students who plagiarize will automatically fail the course. Students are required to complete all assignments.
Papers are due on assigned dates.
Late papers will not be accepted. All papers must be word-processed and must demonstrate a mastery of page design and audience awareness. All papers will be submitted in a labeled folder with all prewriting, an outline, a rough draft and a final, camera ready draft. Revisions will be accepted no later than one week following the return of the initial graded paper. When revisions are exceptional, the grade may be raised by as much as one letter grade.
