Students are expected to demonstrate academic integrity in
all its various forms, and will be held accountable for doing so by the policy
on Academic Conduct in the Student Handbook.
One particularly problematic breach of academic integrity is plagiarism, which
is stealing from the ideas and writings of another person and passing them off
as one’s own. For an elaboration of the nature, types, and prevention of
plagiarism, see the Providence College document entitled “Academic
Dishonesty: The Problem of Plagiarism in Academic Writing,”

For
late written papers of not less than one week, students will be deducted 10% on
the grade for that paper. For papers more than one week late, students will
receive a zero grade for that assignment. Should students wish an exemption from
the above stated penalty because of exceptional circumstances, students may
make their request to the professor using this linked form.
It is at the discretion of the professor to accept or reject the request.
For
group or individual class presentations there are no exceptions and failure to present
on the scheduled day of the class will result in a zero grade for that assignment.
