Your participation is a mark of your professional development and a contributing factor in both your performance and that of your classmates. You must be present to participate, so attendance is important. However, your success and that of the course will depend on active involvement in the activities of the class, including frequent and meaningful comments, questions, and shared information from your experience and reading. In the community of scholars, we all play a role in each other's learning. All work submitted for grade should be your own or should be properly attributed.
Plagiarism is subject to penalty ranging form failure on the assignment to failure in the course.
Late submissions are subject to a penalty of grade reduction at a rate of one-half letter or five percent per day, unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor. Both for continuity and in respect for their experience, I have adopted much of this introductory material from papers provided by Dr. Henry Limouze and Ms. Cathy Sayer.
