All papers must be TYPES and DOUBLE-SPACED. Points will be deducted for unclear writing (e.g. spelling, grammar mistakes, etc.). Other extra credit options can be discussed with me.
Academic misconduct: All instances of academic dishonesty
(as defined in the student handbook, including cheating on exams and plagiarism)
will result in failure of the course. Cheating on exams includes
looking at someone else's test or giving information during the test, either
directly or by positioning yourself or your test so as to get or give information.
Plagiarism is defined as taking someone else's ideas as passing them off
as your own. In ANY papers you write, if you use someone's idea,
give that person credit for having come up with the idea first. If
two student papers are nearly identical, both students will receive Fs
on the papers.
