POL 214 – Winter 2005

Pol 214 Menu of Assignments

Everyone must complete Menu I and Menu II. In addition, you have the option to do an assignment from Menu III for extra credit. Deadlines for assignments are shown below and on the syllabus. All papers must include a list of sources, using one of the standard formats for bibliographic references, plus foot/end notes or in-text references for any quotations or to document data and non-common knowledge. I encourage you to consult with me on any assignment for suggestions on sources, searching strategies, and how to organize your papers.

Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. You are each responsible for making sure that your papers are your own work and are properly documented when you use others’ work. The Internet is a great research resource; it is also a great resource for professors to find plagiarized papers! Any plagiarized paper—whether taken from another source deliberately or accidentally, in whole or part--will result in an automatic zero (0) for the assignment. Late papers will be penalized one-half grade per day. Please consult with me if illness or family crisis creates a problem in meeting a deadline.
