All assignments are due in your instructor's mailbox in TLS 312 (the EEB office) by 4 pm on the due date. If they are turned in at the EEB office, have the secretary indicate the date and time the paper was brought in. The assignment can also be handed in personally to your W instructor. Note that electronic submissions (email, etc.) of assignments will NOT be accepted unless specifically authorized by your W instructor.
Assignments will be returned in envelopes outside of your instructor's office.
It is your responsibility to make an appointment for individual meetings. After work is returned, the instructor will post an appointment sign-up sheet on their office door. If you cannot make a scheduled meeting time, please e-mail or call to cancel and re-schedule.
Submit all work in computer-printed or typed form, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins and page numbers.
Pay close attention to all format and length requirements.
We will not accept assignments out of sequence. If you turn in an assignment late, we may not be able to grade it on time, which will result in less time for revisions.
Remember that to drop the W part of EEB 245, you must DROP 245W (4 credits) and ADD 245 (3 credits). They are considered two separate courses by the registrar.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s ideas or words as your own. In its most blatant form, it involves quoting without quotation marks or without proper attribution of credit, including doing so from another student’s paper or from a commercially available one. Paraphrasing without giving credit, or changing only a few words (i.e. paraphrasing too closely) even if you give credit are also examples of plagiarism. Of course, you’ll be discussing the ideas of others in your paper, but make sure you cite the reference for each idea in the text. The minimum penalty for plagiarism on any assignment is a 0 for the assignment. Students who plagiarize can also be subject to more serious penalties, including failure of the course and expulsion from the University.
