neighbors, parrots, or myself; but keep in mind that
the actual writing must be the result of individual work.
Any detectable attempt to cheat in any way (including copying answers from
current or former students) will be considered a serious violation of the
Code of Honor, and will subject the perpetrator(s) to a final grade of
"F" in this course and additional disciplinary actions imposed by the college.
Type (or print very legibly) your answers in order to turn them in later. Limit you answers to each question to short sentences and/or lists, as requested. Do not write any direct quotations; paraphrase the ones you want to use, if any, and just add the reference so I'll know where you got it. |
