Students are expected to participate in weekly discussion on different topics. The guidelines for responding to the discussion topics are explined in the course syllabus and I reiterate what the expectiations are in my welcome announcement the first week of class. I encourage students to proofread their work and ask that they elaborate and be respectful when replying to classmates posts. The concept of plagiarism is also explained in the announcements and in my welcome email. Any student that plagiarize is educated on how to avoid being in that perdicament, initially, and avised that plagiarsim can lead to expulsion from school.
