General Expectations All assignments must be turned in at the beginning of class on the date that they are due, and in the form in which they are due. Parents will be promptly informed of both progress and problems with their students’ adherence to time schedules and attendance. Computer and/or printer problems are not an acceptable excuse for a late assignment in this class. This is a college-level course, and you are expected to be responsible and prepared. Back-up your work early and often. If you can’t print something out, e-mail the work to yourself at school, email it to me, or bring it to school on a jump drive and print it out before you come to class. I will NOT allow you to use my computer to print out your paper. In other words, you will not be able to print out a document once you get to my class, so even if you have it on disk, it will still be considered late. Please don’t let this happen. Absences/Make-up Work When you return from an absence, it is your responsibility to check the class calendar on the web site, and then to check the pocket on the make-up work bulletin board to get copies of handouts you missed. You are also welcome to email me to ask questions. I will abide by the school’s policy concerning the timeframe in which you must make-up and turn in the missing work. If the assignment or test was known in advance of the absence, and was due during the absence or on the date of your return, it is due immediately on the day that you return in order to be "on time" and receive no late penalty. Academic Integrity As a community of scholars, we are bound together by the bonds of academic integrity. At its most basic level, the principle of academic integrity requires that any work you submit be your own. All assignments in the class are to be completed individually, unless specifically stated otherwise. Your name on a paper signals that you alone completed the assignment. When an assignment, such as a research paper, requires you to consult outside sources, all such sources must be clearly credited in your work using MLA (Modern Language Association) citation format. My policy on dishonesty applies to both written work and oral presentations. If plagiarism or cheating occurs in my course, the student will receive a zero for the assignment, an office referral, his or her parents will be contacted, and the student will likely be phased down from the course to a lower level.
