Incompletes are only given with good reason, and if I am notified two weeks before the final exam date. You are not allowed to copyright any of my class handouts or other materials, nor can you publish them or use them in public presentations without my permission. You are encouraged to discuss with classmates and colleagues, and to collaborate in studying, reading, digesting, and synthesizing class materials. BUT , all written work you turn in must be your own individual work, unless you make arrangements with me in advance for a co-authorship. Co-authored work gets one grade that is shared by all authors.
Plagiarism is a serious breach of academic ethics.
Use full footnotes and references for all quoted or attributed materials. Since we will be publishing class work on the web, we need to pay careful attention to copyright restrictions on fair use. At the end, give a separate section of bibliography as references cited. Turn off all hyphenation. Try to use as little italic and bold or underline style as possible, and avoid table formats unless required.
