Plagiarism is the cardinal sin of academic life.
It will not be tolerated in this class. It is expected that all the work you submit will be your own. In addition, students who plagiarize risk disciplinary action. Students may not get up and go out of the room during class. Any student who does so will not be allowed back in class.
