Similarly, make up examinations will not be given unless the stated advance arrangements are made, or an acceptable excuse is provided. Late assignments will not be accepted. The same policy also applies to make-ups on assignments. Any student who commits plagiarism is subject to penalties that will negatively affect the student's grade. Plagiarism is the presentation of another person's ideas or product as one's own.
Students can avoid unintentional plagiarism by carefully following accepted scholarly practices.
Notes taken for papers and research projects should accurately record sources of material to be cited, quoted, paraphrased, or summarized, and papers should acknowledge those sources in footnotes. At the discretion of the instructor, and depending on the severity of the plagiarism, course grade penalties may range from failing grade on the specific assignment to a failing grade for the course.
