Class time will not used to re-address topics a student has missed due to absence. Students must meet all course deadlines and be present for all quizzes, tests, and examinations. Students are allowed one undocumented absence. A student may miss one entire class without documentation or miss one-half of two classes without documentation. Documentation includes a doctor’s note, notes from employers on their letterhead, police reports, jury summons, and the like. Documentation of an absence must be presented within one week of the absence (or your return to class), or the absence will be considered undocumented.

Hints for Avoiding Plagiarism: • More than three words is plagiarism. This is a good yardstick to use when wondering whether or not quotes are appropriate. They are, if you are copying more than three words in sequence. • One source is not “common knowledge.” Common knowledge does not require citation. But something is not common knowledge if you have found just one source for the information. • When in doubt, cite! If you have any doubt about whether or not to cite a source, err on the side of making the attribution. • If your co-author sounds surprisingly eloquent make sure the
