Academic Integrity
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. 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 enforce this policy, I require that all papers be submitted electronically
to the Blackboard drop box on this course's Blackboard website. Before
reading them, I will submit papers randomly to Turnitin.com, an anti-plagiarism
website and search engine. I will also submit all suspicious papers
to 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, all papers, exams, presentations, and other graded
assignments are not collaborative and 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.
