Written Paper Assignments:
It should not have to be restated, but remember that ALL written paper assignments are required to have references AND citations in the body of the paper. A paper with no references or citations is considered a form of plagiarism and will result in zero points.
Please note the discussions are NOT like a paper — it is considered a public type of forum. Most items from the web site and the text are considered copyrighted information and it is an infringement to copy and paste without express written permission by the author. This includes items copied that are even referenced and cited. I will not count these items as substantive. Please feel free to include the URL address in your discussion posts so we can go to the site, but keep your discussion comments ONLY in your own words. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
