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/.

Writing
Assignments
- 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). Be professional: the pages
should have headers with numbers, and they should be stapled.
- Submitting your work. Students should attach the signed checklist
to all submissions. We strongly encourage you to consult the checklist
as you write and revise the essay, instead of just tacking it on at the
end. 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. Emailed papers WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED without arrangements in advance.
- 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. The
appeal should refer to the essay grading rubric, which will be attached to the essay by the section instructor.
Students should direct initial appeals to their section instructors. If
the student and section instructor remain in disagreement, the student
should contact Professor Newman.
- Attendance at lectures and discussion sections
is required. 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.
- 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
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.
