2.  You may use your notes, our textbook, power points, videos provided by the instructor, and other sources provided by the instructor on Canvas.

3. You may NOT use Wikipedia, the dictionary, textbooks from other classes, or any research sources other than those provided by the instructor.

4.  While an occasional quote from a resource can be useful, avoid excessive quotations.  The answers should not be a series of quotes (or paraphrases) sewn together.  You should make specific reference to the assigned readings, but use your own words whenever possible.  Integrate material from a variety of sources whenever possible.

 5.    Any material taken from any source (including Jennings) MUST be referenced in your paper and cited in a Works Cited section at the end of your paper.   References must be cited whenever you are using someone’s information even if you are not directly quoting them.   For example, a discussion of the Commerce Clause might include some language similar to this:

     The Supreme Court's interpretation of the Commerce Clause has changed significantly over the years. (Jennings, 89).  It was initially involved regulation of free trade between the States. (Weed, Wheat, Obamacare).

6. You may NOT consult with other students in the class or any other person.  These papers must be your own individual, original work.  Use of outside sources or material that is the product of consultation with other individuals constitutes academic dishonesty. The instructor reserves the right to impose any sanctions permitted by the University.  A student involved in academic dishonesty pertaining to this assignment should expect to fail the course.
