FINE PRINT:
It is illegal and unethical to use someone else's work without properly crediting the source . If you are not sure where that line is between needing to credit a source or not or between quoting, paraphrasing, and original language, or between imitating and copying an existing piece of work, please ask me in advance or err on the side of over-citing. If I discover that you've plagiarized material for this class, I will follow the University's policy for violations of academic integrity (see the UB Student Handbook), the consequences of which can include failing the course and expulsion from the University of Baltimore.
Please turn your cell phones off or to a silent mode. Ringing phones are disruptive to class and no longer will be tolerated.
Attendance is mandatory. We cover too much material in class to make it up. You are permitted one excused absence. Final grades will be docked after that.
Assignments are due on the date stated by the beginning of class. Anything turned in late will automatically be docked.
All out of class assignments must conform to the MLA style guideline. MLA Style books should be available in any library and most bookstores.
Papers will be graded for writing as well as content.
It is much easier to communicate with me by e-mail rather than telephone.
WEB BOARD HELP:
I have set up a ListServ on the department's server "Astro". You are required to join this ListServ. All updates will be posted there. It is also a great place for your to post questions, share interesting information, and study for exams. Astro Instructions.
