If you are submitting work late, it would be in your interest to have the Sociology Department secretary stamp your paper with the official department date stamp. I have a set of standard expectations for evaluating written work and am looking for thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and insight when grading your papers. However, if you would like me to review your points on any paper, I ask that you put your questions or concerns in writing and attach them to your paper so that I can review the entire package before discussing them with you. Both arriving late and leaving early can be very disruptive. This behavior is rude and disrespectful.
Plagiarism refers to borrowing the work, ideas, or knowledge of others for personal gain.
It includes exam cheating, borrowing from published sources without citation, and using the ideas of others without citation. Cheating or plagiarizing will result in an F for the course and your name will be submitted to the University Office of Student Affairs. The rule is - when in doubt, ask for help. The library staff will report suspected violations to the WSU police and students convicted of this misdemeanor will receive and F in this course. Please notify me during the first week of class of any accommodations needed for this course.
