Fall 2019 Course Syllabi

6 Plagiarism can result in failure of the course or suspension from the college. See the college’s policies for more information. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about these issues. Dual-submission is also considered self-plagiarism, which is when you submit the same essay/assignment for credit in another course. Even if it is your own words, the unethical part is that you are trying to receive credit in another course for the same exact essay/assignment that you wrote in a different course. Disabilities and Special Needs: In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, students with documented disabilities can pursue accommodations as needed. To assure that accommodations and or modifications will be available when classes start, students are encouraged to make request as soon as possible. Students, who require some modifications of seating, testing, or other course requirements, should contact the Dean of Students or academic adviser. Disclaimer: The instructor reserves the right to change these policies and the schedule of assignments as conditions and ongoing review of the course indicate would be appropriate.
