Academic Integrity

Work that violates the academic integrity policies of the College or this course will receive a ZERO and will be reported to the Dean's office.

Plagiarism will not be tolerated.  Students should consult Ithaca College's plagiarism and academic honesty policies at http://www.ithaca.edu/judicialaffairs/SCCAppendix.htm#AppendixII.  Students must also submit original work for each assignment in this course.  So, students may not turn in a paper that is identical to or contains portions of another paper or assignment that has already been submitted for this course.  To prevent plagiarism, I submit papers to an anti-plagiarism search engine at Turnitin.com.

Students may be removed from the course for disruptive behavior, excessive absences, plagiarism or academic dishonesty, or other activities that the professor deems unacceptable.

I encourage students to study together before exams and to discuss course materials outside of class.  Unless otherwise indicated in the assignment, no papers, exams, or other graded assignments are  collaborative; they must be completed by the individual student.  Students should use their own discretion in determining how far to take their conversations about the readings before writing their papers.

Students with questions about the academic integrity policies for this course should consult with the professor before the deadline for the assignment in question.
