  11. Scholastic Dishonesty • I will follow the general discipline provisions (see your Student Handbook). Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: cheating on tests, plagiarism, and collusion. Do not copy from websites or try to purchase your essays online, YOU WILL BE CAUGHT. Do your own work and research. Cite your sources. • To prevent and address plagiarism we will use TURNITIN.COM • Student papers suspected of plagiarism will be anonymously subject to review by classroom peers who will determine three possible outcomes: No Credit, Half Credit or Full Credit.

  12. Attendance and Drop Policy • Class Attendance is both monitored and encouraged • You may have up to Four Excused Absences • You may WITHDRAW yourself from the course at anytime before the official drop date. • I will not automatically drop you from the course.

  13. Cell Phone and Electronics Policy • You may not use cell phones for text messaging or calls. • After being warned, you will be politely asked to leave the class. • If your cell phone rings, you must buy cookies for everyone. • Computers may be used for academic purposes only. • UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO USE RECORDING DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM

  14. Classroom Discussion Policy • I encourage discussion in the classroom. Please restrain yourself from the use of foul language, it is not welcome in an academic environment. Please give your fellow student the common courtesy that you would have afforded to yourself.
