In all of my courses, I insist that
proper grammar, spelling and style are an inherent, and necessary, part
of each graded assignment. I also limit most writing assignments
to a maximum of one page or one paragraph; there are a few two-page
papers. I remind you that any student caught plagiarizing or
cheating will be subject to disciplinary action. If interested, please read some further explanation regarding the importance of proper writing. |
