Academic Integrity:
The practices followed in this course are based on the principles
discussed in the publication Academic Integrity at Elizabethtown College, current
edition. Fair and honest scholarship requires that work be either the product of a
scholar’s independent effort or properly attributed to its source. It is assumed
that anyone submitting work implicitly offers it as meeting this standard.
Disabilities:
If you have a documented disability and need reasonable
accommodations to fully participate in course activities or meet course
requirements, you must (1) contact the Director of Disability Services at 1227 or
deichesa@etown.edu, and (2) meet with me, the instructor, within two weeks of
receiving a copy of the accommodation letter from Disability Services to discuss
your accommodation needs and their implementation.
