What is Plagiarism and Why is it Important?
In college courses, we are continually engaged with other people’s ideas: we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important that we give credit where it is due. Plagiarism is using others’ ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.

How can Students Avoid Plagiarism?

To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use:
- another person’s idea, opinion, or theory
- any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings ał any pieces of information ał that are not common knowledge
- quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words or
- paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.

Check with your instructor for proper citing of sources. The simplist is to: provide: title of piece, date, author or artist, book, date of publication, and page number.

attendance policy

Attendance is mandatory, and will be taken at the beginning of each class. Every absence after the third absence will result in one letter grade off the final semester grade.

Students are required to stay for the full class meeting. Early departures will be considered absences. If you walk in late, it is your responsibility to let the instructor to know that you were late and not absent.
