Believe it or not, this can be fun and you will probably learn something interesting about psychology. However, if fun isn't what motivates you, you can earn four extra credit points for every project in which you participate up to a maximum of 12 points. At the end of the semester, I will get a list of the names of my students who participated in a research project and a list of those who signed up to participate, but didn't show up. You may earn up to 10 extra credit points by writing a 2-page typed essay on a topic from the list that I will give to you. Cheating will result in an F for the course and pla g iarism will result in an F for a written assignment.
Plagiarism is a serious offense.
To lift content directly from a source without giving credit is a flagrant act. To present borrowed passage without reference to the source after having changed a few words is also plagiarism. However, you will not be automatically dropped if you attend one or more of these class sessions and then decide to drop the course. In this case, you are responsible for completing course withdrawal procedures. In fact, it is always in your best interest to make sure that you have been officially removed from a course by the registrar even if you don't attend a course during the first week.
