Many of the lectures are taped and available for listening in University Library. Similarly, unscheduled comings and goings are very disruptive. Therefore, you'll be expected to arrive at class on time and to stay for the entire class session. If you must leave class early please let me know in advance. Repeatedly leaving class early without informing me will negatively effect your grade.
Plagiarism is a form of cheating.
It is the use of another's work without properly crediting the actual source of the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, entire articles, music or pictures. Using the work of another student with or without their permission is also plagiarism if there is no indication of the source of the original work. Plagiarism is a serious offense and will be severely punished in this class. Students whose work appears to be plagiarized may be asked to produce earlier drafts of the work as well as the books and articles used in a paper. For this reason, students should retain their notes, drafts, and other material relating to their paper for 2-3 weeks after the semester's end.
