LETTERS & EVALUATIONS
Your attendance is very
important to your final grade. This is a seminar, not a lecture, so come
prepared to contribute to the discussion.
All written assignments
must be submitted on the dates
requested.
Academic Honesty:
It is assumed that the work you submit for this course, whether written or
spoken, is your own. Any attempt to represent someone else's work as your own
will be considered plagiarism--a form of academic misconduct. For more
clarification on plagiarism, see Drexel's
Student Handbook.
Plagiarism includes copying another student's work on papers or tests, copying
without attribution the ideas or words from published sources, and submitting
papers written in previous semesters. Such academic misconduct will result in a
failing grade for the assignment, a probable failing grade for the course, and
a report to the Dean for possible disciplinary action. Be advised that internet
services such as EVE 2.3 and Turnitin.com make the detection of plagiarism easy.
Disabilities Statement:
Student with disabilities requesting accommodations and services at Drexel University need to present a current accommodation verification letter ("AVL") to faculty before accommodations can be made. AVL's are issued by the Office of Disability Services ("ODS"). For additional information, contact the ODS at www.drexel.edu/edt/disability, 3201 Arch St., Ste. 210, Philadelphia, PA 19104, V 215.895.1401, or TTY 215.895.2299.
