In addition to regular class attendance, you will be expected to devote a significant amount of time to reading, writing, and working on your projects with others outside of class. 

Attendance is required. After two absences, you may be dropped from the course. If you do miss a class, you will be responsible for getting assignments from me and notes from a classmate. Missing a group editing session or scheduled conference counts as an absence.

Even when unintentional, plagiarism is a serious offense. Conduct prohibited by the Code of Academic Integrity consists of all forms of academic dishonesty, including, but not limited to cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, and plagiarism. Plagiarism, as defined by the University Handbook for Appointed Personnel "means intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one's own work in any academic exercise." Students found guilty of violating the Code are subject to any one or a combination of the following sanctions: written warning; loss of credit for the work involved; reduction in grade; failing grade assigned in the course; disciplinary probation, suspension, expulsion; or other sanctions imposed by a University Hearing Board.

Each project must be completed to receive a passing grade in the course. Please note that omitting any part of your project's portfolio (memos, progress reports), or missing an editing workshop or group conference, will result in a substantially lowered grade. Deadlines are negotiable only in cases of a documented medical emergency; without prior arrangements, late projects will be marked down one letter grade for every day they are late.
