  1. PA 335 - TRIAL AND COURTROOM PRESENTATION

  2. Welcome to my class!!!! • 1. Work hard • 2. Learn a lot • 3. Have fun

  3. COURSE EXPECTATIONS • Discussion Board: 4-5 posts on at least three different days during the unit week (rubric under docsharing) • Seminar: If you miss it, make up by listening to recording, write a 2-3 page summary, e-mail it to me before next seminar for full credit • Written assignments: due on the last day of the unit week (Tuesday nights). • Late submissions: make me unhappy, however I am not insane. E-mail me your excuse prior to it being late. Papers over a week late automatically have 5% deducted

  4. Academic Honesty • Plagiarism is an enormous problem that I take very seriously. At one time or another, everyone has probably been tempted to liberally copy and paste from someone else's work. or even just paraphrase a chunk without giving credit. Don't do it. You will get caught. It's not pretty. The goal of this class is to improve YOUR writing, and that's what I want to see • All this said, your paper should be your own. You should use others’ ideas (and cite them) to build your own argument.

  5. The Indiana University website on plagiarism defines it as "using others' ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.” (notice how I told you where I got it and put quotation marks around the words?) They go on to offer the following advice on avoiding plagiarism: “To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use • another person's idea, opinion, or theory; • any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings--any pieces of information--that are not common knowledge; • quotations of another person's actual spoken or written words; or • paraphrase of another person's spoken or written words.” • So let's tease out some of these. We'll talk about "common knowledge" in a minute, but let's look at paraphrasing. What is a paraphrase?

  6. COURSE EXPECTATIONS PLEASE READ THE E-BOOK AND ALL OF THE WRITTEN MATERIALS BEFORE DOING THE ASSIGNMENTS • There are written assignments for Units 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 • Always a good idea to look at the assignment first, then read the materials, then go back and do the assignment
