Each
student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be
personally accountable for all submitted work. Representing another
person's work as your own is always wrong. Any suspected instance of
academic dishonesty will be reported to the Academic Judiciary. For
more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including
categories of academic dishonesty, please refer to the academic
judiciary website at www.stonybrook.edu/uaa/academicjudiciary/.

Assignments
- Drafts.
- You are expected to give a good-faith effort on any
drafts or
pre-composition assignments. It is not the responsibility of your
section instructor or your peers to correct mechanical or proof-reading
errors; any material that you bring to class should be as free from
such errors as possible.
- You are required to attach a completed Essay Submission Checklist
to the final draft.
- Format. All written work, including any
response papers submitted
in hard copy, should be typed, double-spaced, on 8.5 X 5 paper, with
1-inch
margins. 12-point font only. Pages should be numbered. Citations should
conform to MLA style (consult MLA Handbook).
- Late
submissions. A
paper is considered late if it is not brought to class, at the
beginning of class, on the date due. Late assignments will be accepted
only if the
student has a documented medical excuse or similar emergency.
- Appeals. Any appeals of essay grades should be submitted in writing, with a detailed explanation
of why the student feels the grade is undeserved or mistaken.
Attendance:
- Attendance is mandatory. On a case-by-case basis,
necessary
absences may be excused
with advance notice. Absences will only be excused retroactively with a
doctor's note. More than two unexcused absences will adversely affect
your grade.
- More than two late arrivals will count as an
unexcused
absence.
- Participation is mandatory. The section grade will be
based
on
your participation in discussions and on any section assignments or
activities.
Disability:
- If you have a physical, psychological, medical, or learning
disability that may impact your course work, please contact Disability
Support Services at (631) 632-6748 or http://studentaffairs.stonybrook.edu/dss/.
They will determine with you what accommodations are necessary and
appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential.
Students who require assistance during emergency evacuation are
encouraged to discuss their needs with their professors and Disability
Support Services. For procedures and information go to the following
website: http://www.sunysb.edu/ehs/fire/disabilities.shtml
Communications:
It
is the student's responsibility to:
- Ensure that the email in the BlackBoard system is
correct, or that the instructor is supplied with their correct email.
- That they check this email account regularly
Changes
to the schedule, including assignments, will
be
announced
in class, posted on the e-syllabus, and may also be
communicated by email. Not checking or receiving email will not be an
accepted as an excuse for failing to keep up with assigned readings or
writings. Please
refer to the on-line syllabus rather than any
print-outs you made at the beginning of the semester.
