  11. Academic Misconduct I expect (and hope for) you to collaborate freely amongst yourselves when discussing topics in this class. With this in mind, your essays and test answers must be your answers. You may not collaborate in any fashion (not even “can you skim this and see if I missed anything” type e-mails) on your essays. Any student who violates the university’s academic misconduct rules will receive an F in the course. Please speak with me and consult your student handbook if you have questions and for more information.
