Redo policy

If you get less than a 60% grade on an assignment you may ask for a copy of my booster document.

The same applies if you get a low score on a test but would require a meeting first.

Discussion posts can always be edited.

Academic honesty

Your work should be written by you. Plagiarism is when you copy without

giving credit to the original author. Citing sources at the end of a paper is

not the same as giving credit. Let’s look at a site together:
