College Policy on
Academic Integrity |
In accord with the College policy on "Academic Integrity," students are reminded to document the source of all information used in their papers. (See the Saint Joseph College Catalog, page 27, "Academic Integrity.") All words quoted from a source must be placed in quotation marks. Paraphrases and summaries of the ideas of others must be acknowledged. Any student suspected of submitting work that is not her own will be notified and have the opportunity to defend herself or rectify the matter. For this reason, it is important to submit drafts at midway points and retain copies of references. Any assignment containing plagiarism will receive a zero. Please be sure to read the College’s complete policy statement on Academic Integrity. |

Rewrites & Late Papers |
Students are
encouraged to submit papers in advance of the due date if they would
like to have the papers graded and then revise them for a
higher grade. Once a paper is submitted on the due date, the option to
rewrite it for a higher grade is not possible. If a paper is submitted late,
one point will be subtracted for each day late. No papers will be accepted five days after
the due date (including weekend days). .

Attendance & Tardiness |
When students
attend class regularly, they receive higher grades. They are motivated,
understand course assignments, and benefit from assistance provided during
class time. Three points are added to the final
course average of all students who attend every class, and two points are
added to the average of those who miss only one class. Points are subtracted for missing more
than two classes, with one point subtracted for each absence
beyond two. Please refer to the Saint Joseph College Catalog,
page 30, for information regarding extended absences. |

Computer Etiquette |
It is not
acceptable to use computers during class time for non-course work. Please do
not read and respond to email or surf the web during class--unless such is
related to a class assignment. Course Syllabus
