| Homework
assignments must be ready for grading on time. Every session an
assignment is late will count as a grade markdown. If you are absent,
I must see your assignment the following class. All of the work you submit
for grading must be your own. You may not download images, annimations,
or any other material/graphics/text off of the web. As well, you may
not scan material from books or magazines to use in your assignments.
Any assignment containing any such material will automatically receive
a failing grade. I may request evidence of your creative process - therefore,
save and have available any source material that you produced - photographs,
sketches, items that you scanned, etc, as well as any intermediate digital
files. By doing so, you protect yourself from undue scrutiny. Papers: do not plagarize your work. The bulk of your papers must be your own words/thoughts. You may quote source material, but this may not comprise more than 20% of your paper. You must provide footnotes and a bibliography if you reference any outside sources. If I catch you plagarizing, you will automatically fail the entire course. |

A: WebSpace is space on a Web server where degree students can upload files
for their personal Web sites which are viewable by the public. Information

about WebSpace is in MyNewSchool, the "single sign-on" portal, under
the "Student" tab.
