The University of Maryland, College Park has a nationally recognized Code of Academic Integrity, administered by the Student Honor Council. This Code sets standards for academic integrity at Maryland for all undergraduate and graduate students. As a student you are responsible for upholding these standards for this course. It is very important for you to be aware of the consequences of cheating, fabrication, facilitation, and plagiarism. In this class, you are encouraged to work together to prepare your presentations and to discuss the papers and homework. However, you are expected to prepare your homework on your own, and you are responsible for your own answers.
