• Read all assigned readings by the date they appear in the syllabus. Bring text to class.
• Participation not attendance counts. 
• Deadlines: in-class writing cannot be made up, and late work will be penalized.
• Papers must be word-processed with a 12-point font and 1" margins. Check grammar and spelling before submission.
  
• Term paper final draft must be accompanied by drafts demonstrating substantial revision, copies of all cited secondary materials, a works cited page, and a self-evaluation.
• Revision is permitted and may be required. All revisions must be accompanied by the graded draft. Revision grades, if higher, will replace the initial grade, but revision does not guarantee a higher grade.
• The final examination is an institutional requirement. Rescheduling the final requires permission from the course instructor and the Dean of Arts & Sciences.
• Extra Credit awarded for: excellent participation and  visits to the Writing Lab (submit blue form).
• Keep copies of all your work until you receive your official course grade.
  
• Those who cannot treat others respectfully will be asked to leave. Repeated problems will result in disciplinary action.
  
• Statement on Academic Misconduct: Eastern Oregon University places a high value upon the integrity of its student scholars. Any student found guilty of an act of academic misconduct (including, but not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, or theft of an examination or supplies) may be subject to having his or her grade reduced in the course in question, being placed on program or suspended from the university, or being expelled from the university--or a combination of these.
• Collaboration means sharing work equally. Doing someone else's work or allowing someone to do yours is cheating. 
• Use MLA citation format: cite all summarized, paraphrased, and quoted information; quote special concepts and more than three words from the original; paraphrasing requires changing wording and sentence structure; your work should significantly exceed the quantity of citations and build new ideas upon them. 
• No work from another course may be used for credit in this one without prior permission from both instructors.
• If you have a documented disability or suspect that you have a learning problem and need accommodations, please contact the Disability Services Program in Loso Hall 234. Telephone: 962-3081.
