Assignment and Quiz Rules

1. Both assignments and quizzes are due by midnight on the Thursday designated in the Syllabus. Unless you give me advance notice by more than a day, grades will diminish one letter grade per each day late.
2. Assignments and quizzes are "open-book" in the sense that you may look up anything in books or on the Web.
3. In assignments, you should quote your sources, giving a URL or reference, and using quotation marks when quoting. Citing but not employing quotation marks when you are copying and pasting is a form a plagarism.
4. Assigments may be done in collaboration, as long as you tell me at the time of submission who collaborated with whom. There will be no difference in grading if you collaborate.
5. You may seek help in the assignments from the Teaching Assitants or from me.
6. Quizzes must be done solo. Moreover, unlike assignments, you may not ask another human being for help. But you can use the Web as much as you like (but you cannot post a query in a forum). You may not ask the Teaching Assistants questions about the quizzes. You may ask me questions for clarification, and if something needs clarification, I will broadcast that to the entire class.
7. Some of the quiz answers will be from the class discussion and the online Notes that I post. For some you will need to search the Web, and usually Wikipedia, our substitute textbook, will suffice and will be the final arbiter of the "truth." So start there when searching.
8. I encourage you to print out the quiz and work out the answers at your leisure. However, be aware that Moodle shuffles the ordering of the multiple choice answers randomly, so you have to pay attention when you return to actually take the quiz.
