Course Work Policies

Dr. Gian Pagnucci

Course Work Standards

• Students are expected to actively participate in all class activities. This means fully cooperating with other students, thoroughly completing course assignments, and regularly speaking during discussions. If the instructor feels a student is not meeting these criteria, the student's grade will be docked accordingly.
• All course papers must be produced using a word processor or web page creation program.

Course Deadlines

Since sharing written materials in class will be a significant part of this course, meeting deadlines is critical. Therefore, work that is turned in late will be lowered by one letter grade. Overdue work will not receive credit if it is more than one class session late. Missed daily work may not be made up. Exceptions to this rule will only be made at the instructor's discretion in extenuating circumstances.

Note: Since the course schedule may need to be revised during the semester, assignment deadlines announced in class have precedence over the ones listed on this syllabus.

Course Misconduct

The world of the professional scholar depends on academic honesty. Not only is plagiarism shunned, but, in fact, the exact opposite is valued: the more references you know as a scholar, the more usefully your own work can be integrated with other people's. Here at IUP, students caught cheating, plagiarizing, or in some other way violating IUP university policies will be disciplined accordingly, including potentially failing the course or being expelled from the university. For more information, please consult IUP's "Academic Integrity Policy & Procedures" published online in The Source.

Course Syllabus Disclaimer

While this syllabus is as complete and accurate as possible, all dates are subject to change without notice. The instructor may, to suit the educational needs of the students enrolled in this course, change any information contained within this syllabus, such as grading criteria, whenever necessary.
