Students
The students should have carefully read the material at least once before class. Given the
compressed nature of a six week class, it is imperative that students not fall behind.

The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules and regulations
for the orderly and efficient conduct of their business. It is the responsibility of each student and
each student organization to be knowledgeable about the rules and regulations which govern student
conduct and activities. General information on student conduct and discipline is contained in the
UTD publication, A to Z Guide, which is provided to all registered students each academic year.

The University of Texas at Dallas administers student discipline within the procedures of
recognized and established due process. Procedures are defined and described in the Rules and
Regulations, Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, Part 1, Chapter VI, Section 3, and
Student Conduct
in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities of the university’s Handbook of Operating
and Discipline
Procedures. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean
of Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and
regulations (SU 1.602, 972/883-6391).

A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of citizenship. He
or she is expected to obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the Regents’ Rules, university
regulations, and administrative rules. Students are subject to discipline for violating the standards
of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off campus, or whether civil or criminal
penalties are also imposed for such conduct.
The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty. Because
the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the
student for that degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual
honor in his or her scholastic work.

Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to
Academic
applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one’s own work or
Integrity
material that is not one’s own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the
following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records. Students
suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings.

Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and from any other
source is unacceptable and will be dealt with under the university’s policy on plagiarism (see

2
 general catalog for details). This course will use the resources of turnitin.com, which searches the
web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.
Due to receiving numerous complaints from students, this policy is necessary. If you allow your

Cell Phones & warning, after that you lose points. The penalty starts at two percentage points and will double
Pagers every time thereafter. If you answer the phone, no warning will be granted and you will be
immediately assessed the penalty.
The University of Texas at Dallas recognizes the value and efficiency of communication between
faculty/staff and students through electronic mail. At the same time, email raises some issues
concerning security and the identity of each individual in an email exchange. The university
encourages all official student email correspondence be sent only to a student’s U.T. Dallas email
address and that faculty and staff consider email from students official only if it originates from a
Email Use
UTD student account. This allows the university to maintain a high degree of confidence in the
identity of all individual corresponding and the security of the transmitted information. UTD
furnishes each student with a free email account that is to be used in all communication with
university personnel. The Department of Information Resources at U.T. Dallas provides a method
for students to have their U.T. Dallas mail forwarded to other accounts.
The administration of this institution has set deadlines for withdrawal of any college-level courses.
These dates and times are published in that semester's course catalog. Administration procedures
Withdrawal from must be followed. It is the student's responsibility to handle withdrawal requirements from any
Class class. In other words, I cannot drop or withdraw any student. You must do the proper paperwork to
ensure that you will not receive a final grade of "F" in a course if you choose not to attend the class
once you are enrolled.
Procedures for student grievances are found in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities, of
the university’s Handbook of Operating Procedures.

In attempting to resolve any student grievance regarding grades, evaluations, or other fulfillments of
academic responsibility, it is the obligation of the student first to make a serious effort to resolve the
matter with the instructor, supervisor, administrator, or committee with whom the grievance
originates (hereafter called “the respondent”). Individual faculty members retain primary
responsibility for assigning grades and evaluations. If the matter cannot be resolved at that level,
Student
the grievance must be submitted in writing to the respondent with a copy of the respondent’s School
Grievance
Dean. If the matter is not resolved by the written response provided by the respondent, the student
Procedures
may submit a written appeal to the School Dean. If the grievance is not resolved by the School
Dean’s decision, the student may make a written appeal to the Dean of Graduate or Undergraduate
Education, and the deal will appoint and convene an Academic Appeals Panel. The decision of the
Academic Appeals Panel is final. The results of the academic appeals process will be distributed to
all involved parties.

Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of Students,
where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations.
As per university policy, incomplete grades will be granted only for work unavoidably missed at the
semester’s end and only if 70% of the course work has been completed. An incomplete grade must
Incomplete
be resolved within eight (8) weeks from the first day of the subsequent long semester. If the
Grades
required work to complete the course and to remove the incomplete grade is not submitted by the
specified deadline, the incomplete grade is changed automatically to a grade of F.
Webct is used in this class. This is how I will communicate with you. You are responsible for
Webct announcements made through webct. Please select a forwarding address in your mail preferences if
you do not regularly check your utdallas email.
The goal of Disability Services is to provide students with disabilities educational opportunities
equal to those of their non-disabled peers. Disability Services is located in room 1.610 in the
Student Union. Office hours are Monday and Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday and
Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Essentially, the law requires that colleges and universities make those reasonable adjustments
necessary to eliminate discrimination on the basis of disability. For example, it may be necessary to
remove classroom prohibitions against tape recorders or animals (in the case of dog guides) for
students who are blind. Occasionally an assignment requirement may be substituted (for example, a
research paper versus an oral presentation for a student who is hearing impaired). Classes enrolled
students with mobility impairments may have to be rescheduled in accessible facilities. The college
or university may need to provide special services such as registration, note-taking, or mobility
assistance.

It is the student’s responsibility to notify his or her professors of the need for such an
accommodation. Disability Services provides students with letters to present to faculty members to
verify that the student has a disability and needs accommodations. Individuals requiring special
accommodation should contact the professor after class or during office hours.
The university offers assistance to students in many areas. Please do not feel stigmatized by using
these resources. Good students become better students by using them.
Resources to

The University of Texas at Dallas will excuse a student from class or other required activities for
the travel to and observance of a religious holy day for a religion whose places of worship are
exempt from property tax under Section 11.20, Tax Code, Texas Code Annotated.

The student is encouraged to notify the instructor or activity sponsor as soon as possible regarding
the absence, preferably in advance of the assignment. The student, so excused, will be allowed to
take the exam or complete the assignment within a reasonable time after the absence: a period equal
to the length of the absence, up to a maximum of one week. A student who notifies the instructor
and completes any missed exam or assignment may not be penalized for the absence. A student who
Religious Holy
fails to complete the exam or assignment within the prescribed period may receive a failing grade
Days
for that exam or assignment.

If a student or an instructor disagrees about the nature of the absence [i.e., for the purpose of
observing a religious holy day] or if there is similar disagreement about whether the student has
been given a reasonable time to complete any missed assignments or examinations, either the
student or the instructor may request a ruling from the chief executive officer of the institution, or
his or her designee. The chief executive officer or designee must take into account the legislative
intent of TEC 51.911(b), and the student and instructor will abide by the decision of the chief
executive officer or designee.
Off-campus, out-of-state, and foreign instruction and activities are subject to state law and
Off-Campus University policies and procedures regarding travel and risk-related activities. Information
Instruction and regarding these rules and regulations may be found at
Course Activities http://www.utdallas.edu/BusinessAffairs/Travel_Risk_Activities.htm. Additional information is
available from the office of the school dean.

Dr. Holmes’ Expectations for Papers

Format:
1. Use footnotes. (See The Chicago Manual of Style for details). A summary can be found at
http://www.libs.uga.edu/ref/chicago.html Use the documentary note style -not the author note system!!!
This is not the MLA form of citation. MLA citation is an author-date system. If using Microsoft word,
under the insert menu, choose reference and then footnote to automatically number the reference and
place it at the bottom of the page. The style is as follows:

Examples of footnotes:
1
David Stafford, Britain and European Resistance (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1980), 90.
2
James F. Powers, "Frontier Municipal Baths and Social Interaction in Thirteenth-Century Spain,"
American Historical Review 84 (June 1979): 655.

Bibliography:
Stafford, David. Britain and European Resistance. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1980.
Powers, James F. "Frontier Municipal Baths and Social Interaction in Thirteenth-Century Spain."
American Historical Review 84 (June 1979): 649-67.

According to The Chicago Manual of Style, "the full reference of a note, as in a bibliographic entry,
must include enough information to enable the interested reader to find it in a library, though the form
of the note need not correspond precisely to that of the library catalog."1

2. Use a 12 point font.

3. The text should be typed, double spaced, and have one inch margins.
4. Do not add extra spaces between paragraphs.
5. Number the pages.
6. Include a title page with your name, course title, and date.
7. Include a bibliography.

Style:
1. Include an introduction and conclusion with appropriate outlines and summation of the main points
of your paper.
2. Use topic sentences in your paragraphs. (Please – no two sentence paragraphs or two page
paragraphs!)
3. Do not use a casual tone. (For example, do not use contractions such as “can’t,” “wouldn’t”, etc.)
4. Avoid speaking in the first person. (For example, “In this paper I will …”)
5. Spell check!

Sources:
1. Use multiple sources. Do not quote lecture notes.
2. You should have a combination of academic, peer reviewed books and journals as sources.
3. As a supplement only, you may use internet or conventional news sources (for example The
Economist or the New York Times). They should not constitute the core of your research.

4. Cite often. An overabundance of citations is always preferable to too few. Cite as if you want the
reader to be able to easily refer to your sources when you refer to facts, quotations, and
interpretations.
5. If someone else says it, you must give credit to him or her. If you repeat the author verbatim, you
must quote and cite the author. If you paraphrase his or her words, you must cite the author.
Failure to do this is plagiarism.

General Warning:
Scholastic dishonesty will be severely punished. The student will be subject to university disciplinary
proceedings. The UTD Undergraduate Catalog defines scholastic dishonesty as the following:
“Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to
applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one’s own work of
material that is not one’s own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following
acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records.”

AVOIDING PLAGIARISM
GATHERING RESEARCH MATERIAL

Take time to make careful choices among -- and learn to use -- the research tools available to you. You will
probably find that your favorite Web search engine is not adequate, by itself, for college-level research. Consult with
your professor or a librarian. You may need to use specialized research tools, some of which may require learning
new searching techniques.

Expect to make trips to the library. While you can access many of the library's resources from your home
computer, you may find that you need to make several trips to the library to use materials or research tools that are
not accessible remotely. Of course you will be seeking the best information, not settling for sources simply because
they happen to be available online.

Allow time for gathering materials that are not available at UTD. The Interlibrary Loan office can borrow articles
and books from other libraries, but this process takes additional time.
Allow time for reading, rereading, absorbing information, taking notes, synthesizing, and revising your research
strategy or conducting additional research as new questions arise.

TAKING NOTES

Sloppy note-taking increases the risk that you will unintentionally plagiarize. Unless you have taken notes
carefully, it may be hard to tell whether you copied certain passages exactly, paraphrased them, or wrote them
yourself. This is especially problematic when using electronic source materials, since they can so easily be copied
and pasted into your own documents.

Identify words that you copy directly from a source by placing quotation marks around them, typing them in a
different color, or highlighting them. (Do this immediately, as you are making your notes. Don't expect to
remember, days or weeks later, what phrases you copied directly.) Make sure to indicate the exact beginning and
end of the quoted passage. Copy the wording, punctuation and spelling exactly as it appears in the original.

11
Jot down the page number and author or title of the source each time you make a note, even if you are not
quoting directly but are only paraphrasing.

Keep a working bibliography of your sources so that you can go back to them easily when it's time to double-
check the accuracy of your notes. If you do this faithfully during the note-taking phase, you will have no trouble
completing the "works cited" section of your paper later on.

Keep a research log. As you search databases and consult reference books, keep track of what search terms and
databases you used and the call numbers and url's of information sources. This will help if you need to refine your
research strategy, locate a source a second time, or show your professor what works you consulted in the process of
completing the project.

DOCUMENTING SOURCES

You must cite direct quotes.

You must cite paraphrases. Paraphrasing is rewriting a passage in your own words. If you paraphrase a passage,
you must still cite the original source of the idea. For detailed examples and a discussion, see Appropriate Uses
of Sources.

You must cite ideas given to you in a conversation, in correspondence, or over email.

You must cite sayings or quotations that are not familiar, or facts that are not "common knowledge."
However, it is not necessary to cite a source if you are repeating a well known quote such as Kennedy's "Ask not
what your country can do for you . . .," or a familiar proverb such as "You can't judge a book by its cover."
Common knowledge is something that is widely known. For example, it is common knowledge that Bill Clinton
served two terms as president. It would not be necessary to cite a source for this fact.

These types of sources Printed sources: books, parts of books, magazine or journal articles,
