Attendance: You are required to attend the lectures. An attendance sheet will be circulated during class. It is your responsibility to sign the sheet during class. You will not be permitted to sign the attendance sheet after the class has been dismissed. More than four (4) unexcused absences are considered excessive and you will receive a grade of F.

Statement of the College Policy on Plagiarism:  Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else’s ideas, words, or artistic, scientific, or technical work as one’s own creation.  Using the ideas or work of another is permissible only when the original author is identified.  Paraphrasing and summarizing, as well as direct quotations, require citations to the original source.  

Plagiarism may be intentional or unintentional.  Lack of dishonest intent does not necessarily absolve a student of responsibility for plagiarism.  

It is the student’s responsibility to recognize the difference between statements that are common knowledge (which do not require documentations) and restatements of the ideas of others.  Paraphrase, summary, and direct quotation are acceptable forms of restatement, as long as the source is cited.
