Papers prepared for other classes and resurrected for this class will not be accepted. Copying papers whether from those written by previous students in NRES 105 or available from sources such as the World Wide Web will not be accepted and will be treated as cheating. Late term papers will not be accepted. Since extra credit term papers are not a requirement in the class I will make no exception to this rule. The papers may be turned in early.
Topics generally fall in two categories, gardening techniques or specific crops.
Choose a topic that is of interest to you. The topic must be related to the course. Thus papers on flower gardening, landscape plants, or fruit crops will not be accepted. It is strongly recommended that you talk to the instructor about a topic before you start researching and writing your term paper. If the topic is not obviously related to vegetable gardening, you will get no extra credit.
