*Any proposal found to contain more than 15% direct quote will be subject to scrutiny for

violation of the University’s Policy of Academic Integrity and point deduction could be

substantially higher depending upon the prevalence of direct quote. Any submission that is

plagiarized or otherwise violates academic integrity will earn a grade of “0” and the incident will

be reported to the Provost’s Office.

**Any submission containing grammatical errors that are so serious as to interfere with delivery

of the message earns a grade of 0. Serious grammatical errors include sentence errors –

fragments, run-on sentences, comma splices. Further, errors in coherence, punctuation,

organization, and logic have the potential to earn a grade of 0. Such errors present a serious

obstacle in conveying your ideas and submissions containing such errors cannot earn a passing

grade. At the professor’s discretion, revisions may be permitted.

Any submission that fails to address the topic given or the assignment goal will earn a grade of 0 and/or a request for revision by the instructor.
