1) I am very serious about source citations, APA format, and plagiarism . This is a master’s level course. As a minimum, you will cite sources as you use them and provide references. All words taken directly from another source will be in quotation marks and cited as required for APA. This is true for all assignments. In APA if you do not cite the source in the body of your work, you cannot list it as a source. If you do not cite sources/reference at all you will receive a zero for your work, I will not grade it.

2) Wikipedia , changingminds.com, dictionaries, or other sources that are not scholarly are not to be used in this course. If you are unsure if it is a scholarly resource or not, ask a librarian. Do not list any sources that are not scholarly in your work.

Turnitin Usage

Turnitin is used via the drop boxes for all written papers. The faculty member may also at any point submit DB postings for review in Turnitin in this course. The drop boxes allow the student to submit the paper within the weekly folders. In addition, the faculty member can access the work there, grade it, and when completed, the work with faculty comments is made available to student within the same weekly folder. Turnitin therefore acts as an assignment depository, a place for faculty to pick up, review, grade and offer feedback to students, and as a plagiarism check point. I will grade and review work in the Turnitin drop box. I will review every paper for plagiarism by taking out the bibliography, the work in quotation marks, and then ascertaining whether there are issues or not. I will contact you if I have a concern. I have set the system up so that you are able to see the same report I see in Turnitin. Please review the content on academic integrity below and feel free to ask questions.
