Academic ethics
In addition to expecting that what you submit under your name for this course is work that you have yourself produced, I also expect that work to be produced for this course. Both of the following issues are serious matters of academic integrity:
If you are submitting work for a grade in CCR 611, it should not be work that has, in any substantial version, been submitted (or will be submitted) in another course. If your work for this course overlaps with something you have done or are doing elsewhere, you must alert me to that fact so that you and I (and perhaps the other professor, as well) can assure that you're not getting double credit for a single job but are instead building connections between courses.
When you submit summaries and overviews of sources, whether for your graded reports or for your weekly chapter summaries, they, too, should be work that you have yourself produced. If you're relying on secondary sources, you need to acknowledge your indebtedness in the customary academic manner, through quotations, citations, and lists of works cited.
