Conferences: If you would like to talk about your work, please set up an appointment. Email is the best way to reach me outside of class. Assignments: If you have a question about any assignment, please ask me—I'm happy to help. Please bring a disk and your text each day; you will usually have time to work on assignments in class. Consider the due date a formal deadline—it is your responsibility to ensure that work is turned in whether or not you are in class. Late work will be reduced by 5 points for each class period. Work more than two class periods late will not be accepted. Please do not email assignments. All work must be your own, generated this quarter. Representing another person's work as your own or turning in work that you have completed for another class is academic dishonesty. Plagiarism involves using all or part of a source (words or ideas) without correctly citing the source. Academically dishonest or plagiarized work will receive an "F." Finally, presentation counts! Assignments should be edited carefully. The last two sections in the textbook provide a helpful guide to grammar, punctuation, and mechanics (334-414). Final Grades: Your final
grade will
be based on the following framework.
