A Note about PlagiarismEvery assignment in this class relies on your engagement and
Please do not use outside work as your own—this includes using AI (ChatGPT, for example) to generate responses to assignments, purchasing assignments, submitting work by a friend or family member, and other ways of submitting work not completed by you and/or work not reflecting your views and thoughts.
If I find any work that has been plagiarized, I will require you to meet with me so we can have a conversation with you to better understand your specific situation and needs. The plagiarized assignment will not receive credit; however, I will work with you to address the issue and help you move forward.
If academic integrity issues arise and persist, then we will need to work with the office of Student Affairs and more robust measures may be necessary.
A Note About Avoiding PlagiarismThis assignment needs to be the product of your work. I am here to help YOU grow as a writer, no one else. Please make sure to review the Plagiarism and Academic Integrity section in our course syllabus (located under “Policies”) to review how to avoid plagiarism.
If someone else’s work is submitted and/or presented as your own, the assignment will receive a zero.
