*Please read your messages/responses carefully before sending them to the Discussion area.  Rude, sarcastic, and disrespectful messages will not be tolerated!!!  Please remember that living, breathing people will be receiving your messages.  Treat them with respect.

 *In the event that any inappropriate messages are posted in the classroom, they will be removed by the instructor and the author will be blocked from the classroom. No credit will be given for any class work already posted on that day. If the problem persists appropriate actions will be taken to remove the student from the class.

 All work submitted by students in this course must be original.  Plagiarism, or turning in someone' else's work, words, or ideas as your own, is unacceptable in all its forms. Don't copy answers out of the book or look over someone else's "virtual" shoulder. I have every confidence that each of you has the ability to formulate your own answers and ideas in an intelligent, insightful manner.
