Attendance and Participation
If you plan to drop this class you must officially drop with admissions andplease send me an email to let us know. This will protect your records. It is your responsibility to drop priorto the final drop deadline or we are required to give you a grade. This is NOT a self-paced course. Studentsmust follow the timeline. Assignments have due dates posted and the Weekly Schedule will show the current deadlines. Falling behind and hoping to make up work later is a bad strategy so you are strongly advised tostay on task.
Cheating and Plagiarism
See policy 3100, Item 3.1 on cheating and plagiarism. You may not directly copy existing design or writing. Please avoid putting together a patchwork research project for A from diverse sources, without proper acknowledgment of those sources; and not acknowledging information used or of someone else’s ideas. Make sure to record all sources in your bibliography. All sources must be fully credited in your research project bibliography including our textbook and any Internet research.

Student Conduct
The catalog states that “no student may interfere with a students opportunity to learn”. Any behavior that interferes with the progress of the class will not be tolerated.
