Dear Students,
If you couldn’t finish the final draft of your origin stories because you didn’t get a response back from your partner, or because you couldn’t figure out how to do it on InSite, I am extending the final deadline to Tuesday, October 5th.
Sincerely,
Dr. K

I realize that your paper for CIV V in Ms. Underwood’s class is due on Friday, so my Thursday Civ session might be a little late, but please make sure you go anyways. At that time, Dr. Flowers also wants to help you understand the new features in LIVE–including (are you paying attention) MS Office!!! Yes, that’s right, you have access to MS Office–Word, Excel, PowerPoint–all just for being a student at CAU!!
(And YES, Mac Users, it is completely compatible with your system!)
Be there Thursday!! Lower Level Kresge Hall Computer Lab.

If you haven’t done so yet, please read the article from the New York Times (below) and comment on the correct discussion board for your class.
Next Tuesday, I will be in my office for conferences from 9:25 until 2:55 p.m. My office is located in the Lower Level of Kresge hall. If I am not there, I am across the hall in the computer lab helping your fellow students, so please join me!!
If you need to catch up, you need to find out how to do something, or you just need some extra assistance, this is the perfect time to ask for help.
On Thursday, because it is the beginning of the Jewish Holiday of Sukkot, I will not be in. However, the wonderful technical staff at the WISE Lab will be teaching you how to play Civilization V just in time for your History paper. If you don’t have History, you still need to complete the assignment for me–sending me the stats page of your game so that I know you played a game successfully.
The technical staff also will be taking roll for me, so please make sure you are there!!

Dear Students,
The date of the convocation has been changed. This is last minute (to say the least), so please be advised that the Convocation will NOT take place on Tuesday.
Because I had cancelled class for Convocation, and because I don’t want to reschedule when many of you may not have gotten the message, I will be considering this time as a time for conferences with me. If you need extra help, or you are confused about something in the class, I will be in my office or in the Lower Level of Kresge in the Computer Lab to assist you.
Here is the note I recieved just a few moments ago from Dr. Silver:
Date Corrections
Good morning Colleagues,
I have been informed that Fall Convocation will not be held on Tuesday, September 21. We will advise you of the new date as soon as that information is available.
Take care and peace be with you.

At Rhode Island College, a freshman copied and pasted from a Web site’s frequently asked questions page about homelessness — and did not think he needed to credit a source in his assignment because the page did not include author information.
At DePaul University, the tip-off to one student’s copying was the purple shade of several paragraphs he had lifted from the Web; when confronted by a writing tutor his professor had sent him to, he was not defensive — he just wanted to know how to change purple text to black.
And at the University of Maryland, a student reprimanded for copying from Wikipedia in a paper on the Great Depression said he thought its entries — unsigned and collectively written — did not need to be credited since they counted, essentially, as common knowledge.
Professors used to deal with plagiarism by admonishing students to give credit to others and to follow the style guide for citations, and pretty much left it at that.
But these cases — typical ones, according to writing tutors and officials responsible for discipline at the three schools who described the plagiarism — suggest that many students simply do not grasp that using words they did not write is a serious misdeed.
It is a disconnect that is growing in the Internet age as concepts of intellectual property, copyright and originality are under assault in the unbridled exchange of online information, say educators who study plagiarism. Continue reading
