Do not make the mistake of looking at your scores posted in the online grade book and thinking that you can avoid completing the Critique Paper. If you reach the end of the term and see that you have earned an 85% "B" and think your grade is high enough to avoid completing the Research Paper, think again! The Critique Paper is worth 30% of your final course grade. If you subtract 30% from your 85% "B", you will find that your final course grade will drop to 55% "F" as soon as a zero is registered in the online grade book for your missing assignment. Critique Paper Format Requirements · Save and title your document according to the following example: Your last name_Critique (ex: Jones_Critique) · The Critique paper must be typewritten and double-spaced. · The written portion of the Critique paper must fill at least three (3) full typewritten pages. Meeting the 3-page requirement is important to your overall grade. Each full typewritten page is worth approximately 33 points. If you submit a 2-page paper, your optimal score, prior to any other deductions, will be 67 D. If you submit a 1-page paper, your optimal score will be 34 F. · Top, bottom, and side margins must measure no more than one inch (1") in width. · Font size must not exceed 12 points. · Spelling, punctuation, grammar, and writing style are important and will count in the overall grading process. Sources & Citations You must properly cite all sources that you directly quote or paraphrase within the body of your paper using parenthetical notation, footnotes, or endnotes. You must provide a Works Cited or Bibliography page at the end of your paper that lists sources appropriate for college-level research that have been cited in the body of your paper. Plagiarism Plagiarism is cheating! When writing your responses to the Writing Activity prompts and the Critique Paper, it is important to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism involves presenting someone else’s written work as your own. This includes the work of other students or any other persons, and works published elsewhere, including the World Wide Web. Students are expected to document all sources following established procedures for source citation. · Using another person's work in whole or in part without providing proper documentation of what and from where it is being borrowed. · Obtaining another person’s work through purchase, or otherwise, and submitting it as one’s own. · Other acts not defined above that demonstrate academic dishonesty. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense! The first offense will result in a grade of "0" "F" for the assignment. Repeated acts of plagiarism will result in a grade of "0" "F" for the course. The Art Department will follow the College's Academic Integrity Policy and will work with Student Judicial Affairs to enact the following penalties: · First violation: If it is determined that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, the student will receive a grade deemed appropriate by the assigning faculty member as outlined in the course policy statement. In most instances, this grade would be a zero for the assignment or possibly an F for the course depending on the course policies. · Second violation: Any student who violates the academic integrity policy twice in the same term will receive an F for the course. · Withdrawal: Some students may decide to withdraw from a course rather than receive a failing grade. Withdrawing from a course in which the student has been determined to have cheated, plagiarized or otherwise behaved in an academically dishonest manner counts as an attempt towards successfully passing the course under the Repeating Courses Policy. · Incomplete grades assigned at the end of a course while academic integrity violations are investigated will naturally convert to an F grade unless lesser sanctions are deemed appropriate. Grade change forms should be used per standard practice in this instance. · A violation of the Student Code of Conduct involving academic matters will be submitted to the Student Judicial Affairs Office. The signed copy of the “Statement of Understanding,” with supporting documentation, will suffice for this report. · A record of the violation of Student Code of Conduct B.4, (Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty) will be maintained by the Student Judicial Affairs Office. · Repeat violators will receive additional sanctions from the college following the procedures set forth in the Student Code of Conduct.

Although Wikipedia can be used to gather general information and to identify the names of primary sources worthy of further research, the site's open editing function allows anyone to alter the information that appears in an entry. As a result, Wikipedia is not reliable and it should never be used as a primary source or cited in any college-level paper.
