Course Format
This course follows a lecture format. During class time, we will present material, draw your attention to key points that you should pay attention to, answer questions you may have, and manage class discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises.
There may be quizzes or assignments. It is the responsibility of the student to be on time and to get copies of any assignments missed due to absence. Missed quizzes cannot be made up later.
Students are strongly advised to use the reference material. For every hour of class time the student should budget at least two hours of self study to cover all the material in this course.
Only material that is covered in class lectures will be testable.

Considerations
Please consider turning off any cell phones and pagers while in lectures or seminars. If you need to be available (on call for work, for example) please set your cell/pager to vibrate. Also, please remember that checking email, typing instant messages, or surfing the Web may be distracting to others.
A Statement on Plagiarism and Cheating
The Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers defines plagiarism as:
the act of using another person's ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging the source.
Copying words or ideas from any source, including another student, constitutes academic 'theft', and may result in loss of marks for the assignment, loss of marks for the entire course, or even expulsion. The same penalties will result if a student is found guilty of cheating or contributing to cheating on any test, exam or assignment.
Students should familiarize themselves with University of Winnipeg policy concerning plagiarism and academic honesty.
