Course Syllabus

Plagiarism policy: Here at eCornell, we strive to provide a rewarding and demanding educational experience that helps you grow in your understanding and enables you to meet challenges in your field. We value your individual perspective and seek to support your personal learning. Plagiarism -- the presentation of someone else's work as your own without source credit -- does not have a role in achieving those aims. If you are not certain about what constitutes plagiarism, and how to avoid it, we encourage you to review the materials available at http://plagiarism.arts.cornell.edu/tutorial/index.cfm and to do the self-assessment exercises.

The first instance of demonstrably plagiarized work you submit will result in an “Incomplete” or 0 grade for the work and you will be offered the chance to resubmit your original work for re-grading. The incident will be recorded as part of your record. A second plagiarism incident will result in your being withdrawn from the course with no refund.

Your instructors are here to work with you on presenting your best, original work at all times. If you are not certain if a particular piece of work constitutes plagiarism, we encourage you to discuss it with your instructor before submission.
