Grading
NOTES:
Your final grade for this class is determined collaboratively between your Honours supervisor and myself. Rather than assigning individual marks for your work, I will discuss with you in class my sense of its strengths and needs. If you miss more than one meeting, it may affect my portion of your final grade. This class does not work if we can't rely on your presence every single week we're scheduled to meet.

Registrar Notes:
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
