Statement of Plagiarism: Students should refer to the student handbook and review Policy #5180. Consider defining plagiarism. Plagiarism is the presentation of the work of others as your own; it is not limited to copying the work of another student. Copying from Encyclopedias or texts and cutting and pasting the work of others from Internet sources often are not considered plagiarism by many students; they are forms of plagiarism. You must paraphrase such material in your own words and cite the source you obtained the material from when writing a paper. You must also paraphrase material from a text in an open book exam rather than copying sections into an answer. If you do present someone else’s work verbatim, you must frame it in quotation marks and cite the source in a footnote. Such quotations should be used sparingly as a paper should be primarily your work rather than a string of quotations.
Course Etiquette: All cell phones and pagers should be turned off in class. Students should arrive on time for class and should respect classmates by not engaging in conversations while others are speaking in class. Films are intended as an educational experience and should not be viewed as a time to absent oneself from class or to engage in conversation. When you take part in a group activity, please respect other group members and be prepared to do your fair share. Please contact group members via course e-mail if you are unable to complete your part in a group assignment so that the group can compensate accordingly.
