INTEGRITY AND SCHOLARSHIP

"Honesty in all academic work is expected of every student. This means giving one’s own answers in all class-work, quizzes, and examinations without help from any outside source nor approved by the instructor. Written material is to be the student’s original composition. Appropriate credit must be given for outside sources from which ideas, language, or quotations are derived."

It is the mission of this class, to encourage students to think clearly and to discipline their self-expression, students are expected to demonstrate, in writing, that they have assimilated the information and ideas presented in each course. A definite portion of the grade will be determined by performance in the students work.
