Unless you keep me posted on your progress, I cannot provide appropriate assistance. Do not wait because falling behind schedule will only complicate matters and there is little either of us can do just before the end of the semester. As noted above, class attendance and participation is required. You are also responsible for announcements made in class. Announcements on assignments, changes in scheduling may occur and you are responsible for knowing about such matters.
Plagiarism is a serious offense.
In case you are uncertain about proper citation or referencing format or are unsure if certain information needs to be cited for your research, please consult with me. A one page outline describing your topic, why you selected it, and a description of your hypothesis or thesis statement will be due in class on Jan. 28. Begin drafting your Research Proposal. Between Feb. 7 and Feb 18, you should be developing and finalizing your written proposal. Do not proceed any further on your project until you have been authorized by the professor.
