Guidelines for Success

Jump Right In 

It is wise to start on assignments promptly and establish a definite goal, such as completing one assignment every week or two. Students who start assignments soon after receiving the course materials have a significantly higher completion rate. 

A note on the honor system: It is expected that you submit your own work. While you may wish to study and discuss with others, work submitted must be your own. If it is shown you have plagiarized another’s work, or if any cheating is confirmed, you will, at the instructor’s discretion, receive an “F” for the work and/or course. If this occurs, there will be no refund.
