If you use outside sources for any work done in this course, you MUST turn these in with your work. Finally, communication and understanding are very important elements of this class. If at any time you have questions about the course or your papers, please ask in class or through email, or see me in my office. Email is usually the easiest way to reach me, since I usually check it often throughout the day.
