Completing assignments and following directions is no longer enough to earn an <i>A</i> or a <i>B. </i>Good, solid work merits a <i>C</i>-level grade. If you struggle with writing but want to EARN an A/B on assignments AND in the course, you will need to visit the writing center and be prepared to work  extra hard. </span></p> <p><a name=contact></a><b><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Instructor Contract</span></b></p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'> <hr size=1 width="100%" noshade style='color:#AAAAAA' align=center> </span></div> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:28.1pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 28.1pt'><span style='font-family:Arial'>Email is the most efficient means of communication; you may contact your instructor with/through the Blackboard email tool or with/through your <span class=SpellE>CougarWeb</span> email.</span></p> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:267.1pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 280.1pt'><span style='font-family:Arial'>****You should receive a response within 24 hours.</span></p> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:267.1pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 280.1pt'><span style='font-family:Arial'>Office hours: </span></p> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:267.1pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 280.1pt'><span style='font-family:Arial'>--M/W from 12:15-1:00 except on the following dates: 9/14, 9/19, 11/7, 11/9, 11/14, 11/16, 11/30</span></p> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:267.1pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 280.1pt'><span style='font-family:Arial'>--T/<span class=SpellE>Th</span> from 11:15-11:45 except on the following dates: 8/23, 8/25, 8/30, 9/8, 9/13, 10/25, 10/27, 11/29</span></p> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:267.1pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 280.1pt'><span style='font-family:Arial'>--T/<span class=SpellE>Th</span>: for dates not listed above, office hours will be 11:00-11:30 </span></p> <p><a name=scholastic></a><b><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Scholastic Dishonesty</span></b></p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'> <hr size=1 width="100%" noshade style='color:#AAAAAA' align=center> </span></div> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Academic Ethics:&nbsp; Every member of the Collin College community is expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. Collin College may initiate disciplinary proceedings against a student accused of scholastic dishonesty. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts, or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission of one s own work material that is not one s own. Scholastic dishonesty may involve, but is not limited to, one or more of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion, use of annotated texts or teacher s editions, use of information about exams posted on the Internet or electronic medium, and/or falsifying academic records. While specific examples are listed below, this is not an exhaustive list and scholastic dishonesty may encompass other conduct, including any conduct through electronic or computerized means: </span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Plagiarism is the use of an author s words or ideas as if they were one s own without giving credit to the source, including, but not limited to, failure to acknowledge a direct quotation. </span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Cheating is the willful giving or receiving of information in an unauthorized manner during an examination; collaborating with another student during an examination without authority; using, buying, selling, soliciting, stealing, or otherwise obtaining course assignments and/or examination questions in advance, copying computer or Internet files, using someone else s work for assignments as if it were one s own; or any other dishonest means of attempting to fulfill the requirements of a course. </span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Collusion is intentionally or unintentionally aiding or attempting to aid another in an act of scholastic dishonesty, including but not limited to, failing to secure academic work; providing a paper or project to another student; providing an inappropriate level of assistance; communicating answers to a classmate about an examination or any other course assignment; removing tests or answer sheets from a test site, and allowing a classmate to copy answers. </span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>See the current <i>Collin Student Handbook </i>for additional information.</span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Plagiarism has disrupted and destroyed political careers as recently as the 1988 presidential election.&nbsp;It has cost professional writers thousands and, in some cases, millions of dollars in court awards or settlements resulting from lengthy lawsuits.&nbsp;In some businesses, plagiarism can result in a loss of respect or can be the grounds for dismissal.&nbsp;In college courses, plagiarism's penalties can range from failure on a particular assignment to failure in a course to expulsion from college.&nbsp;PLAGIARISM IS A SERIOUS MORAL OFFENSE.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>According to the <u>MLA Style Manual</u>, the origin of the word <u>plagiarism</u> is the Latin for &quot;kidnapper&quot;; thus, a plagiarist kidnaps another writer's sentences, words, ideas, or organization and presents the material as his own. When the plagiarist uses his stolen material, he may do so knowing that the work is not his <span class=SpellE>own.This</span> is the most blatant form of plagiarism.&nbsp;MANY CASES OF PLAGIARISM, HOWEVER, ARE THE RESULT OF CARELESS DOCUMENTATION OR FAULTY NOTETAKING.&nbsp;Unfortunately, the reader who finds the error, not knowing the writer's intent, can only assume the plagiarism is intentional.&nbsp;Intentional or not, plagiarism in any paper will still carry serious penalties.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>You can avoid plagiarizing if you remember that when you quote, use quotation marks; when you paraphrase, use only your own words.&nbsp;IN EITHER CASE, YOU <u>MUST</u> DOCUMENT.&nbsp;Proper paraphrasing does not mean changing a few words here and there, nor does it mean omitting a few sentences or scrambling their order.&nbsp;For a more complete explanation of proper paraphrasing, see your textbook.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Many students overreact when they learn what plagiarism means. They either assume that they should not use <u>any</u> sources (thus avoiding the problem entirely), or they assume they should document every word they have written.&nbsp; Both reactions are in error, for good writing involves the synthesis of your own ideas with the ideas of others.&nbsp;Documentation serves the purpose of clearly indicating which ideas are yours and which are those of other writers.&nbsp; If you are in doubt about that dividing line, ask your instructor or the Writing Center tutors for guidance.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Plagiarism, because it is a form of theft, burglary, kidnapping, or dishonesty that interferes with the goals of education, must carry severe penalties.&nbsp;The Collin College English Department's policy is that an assignment containing plagiarized material receives an automatic &quot;F.&quot; An instructor may have other penalties in the course syllabus and may choose to initiate disciplinary proceedings against any student guilty of plagiarism.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style='font-family:Arial'>Instructors are advised to report cases of plagiarism, collusion, and/or any scholastic dishonesty to the Dean of Students.</span></p> <p><a name=ada></a><b><span style='font-size:13.0pt;font-family:Arial'>ADA Statement</span></b></p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"'> <hr size=1 width="100%" noshade style='color:#AAAAAA' align=center> </span></div> <p style='margin-right:28.1pt'><a name=info1></a><span style='font-family:Arial'>Religious Holy Days:</span></p> <p style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:28.1pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left: 56.9pt'><span style='font-family:Arial'>In accordance with Section 51.911 of the Texas Education Code, Collin College will allow a student who is absent from class for the observance of a religious holiday day to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time.
