Learning Environment

Students learn in different ways, at different rates for different material. If you feel the course material is passing you by, please let me know. Similarly, if you have a documented disability and wish to discuss academic accommodations, please contact me within the first days of class or as soon as possible thereafter. Students who believe they have a disability that may influence their academic performance, but who have not yet had that disability documented, should immediately contact and meet with the Director of the Academic Support Center. Early conversations allow us to work together to address these topics.

Intellectual Property

Information that is not your original work is to be attributed appropriately. For guidance on how to attribute information available from traditional information sources, see the American Psychological Association’s Style Manual. For information on how to attribute information available from the Internet, see How to Cite Information from the World Wide Web (http://www.apastyle.org/learn/). Intellectual property rights, including information obtained from the Internet, are to be respected.

It is NOT a sign of weakness to cite others. Citing other work does NOT send a signal that you are somehow less knowledgeable about a given topic. It is quite the opposite—citing someone sends a signal that you take the topic seriously and are going above and beyond the basics in completing the assignment. I always view citations in a favorable light. That being said if you cite Wikipedia, you better cite Wikipedia and at least one other source that says pretty much the same thing as Wikipedia. I am not anti-Wikipedia per se, but I do believe that you need to triangulate in on the truth if Wikipedia is in the mix.
