History 322 Course Information
Course Outlines:
Please note that there will not be a complete course outline handed out in class
for this course. All of the information necessary for this course will be
contained within the History 322 website.
Plagiarism:
You are plagiarizing if you use ideas, information, or language
taken from another author without acknowledgment or submit work which is not
your own. Plagiarism is a serious offense and will be dealt with
accordingly. It is highly recommended that students familiarize
themselves with the student conduct policy in the college calendar.
Examinations:
Examinations are an integral part of the course and is the
student's responsibility that they attend at the proper time and place. Failure
to write the examination at the proper time and place will result in a grade of
zero (0). Proper medical documentation may be accepted in some
circumstances.
Due Dates:
These dates are not set as a rough guide for your
convenience, but are a the final dates on which the assignments will
be accepted, barring unforeseen serious circumstances. Having been
given the due dates from the first day of class students should not, when the
assignment is due, plead lack of time, schedule conflicts, or computer failure.
Only in the most serious circumstances will extensions be granted. Extensions
are a privilege not an automatic right, and any extensions must be negotiated
with me beforehand. Under no circumstances will a late paper be
accepted unless an extension has been negotiated beforehand. Papers will be
accepted on the due date until the end of class, after which they will be
considered late and not accepted.

Classroom Behaviour
A classroom is built on a foundation of courtesy and respect for
others. In the classroom students will be treated with respect and
courtesy, and I and fellow students should expect the same in return.
Classes begin promptly at the assigned times and students wandering in after the
start of class, or in and out during class, are disruptive to everyone.
There are of course times when such actions cannot be avoided, and if you must
do so, please be as quiet and unobtrusive as possible. Unnecessary
disruptions will not be tolerated and offending students will be asked to leave.
Readings, Attendance,
and Participation
Classroom discussion of readings will be
an integral part of the course and it is essential that
students prepare the assigned readings and attend
class to participate in discussions. The second half
of the
class is reserved for group discussion of the weekly assigned readings. I
will not be lecturing during that time, but we will instead be working as a
class to examine and understand the material. The success or failure
of that discussion therefore depends on the class as a whole. Coming to
class unprepared is to let your classmates down. Everyone is expected to
be a contributing member of the class.
There will also be FIVE (5) unannounced quizzes
during the term based on the assigned readings.
Email
I can be contacted by email by
clicking on the email link on the course homepage. There is no guarantee
though that I will be answering my email every day, or even every two or three
days depending on my schedule and how busy I am. I will answer email, but
if an immediate answer is required it is better to leave a voice message or see
me in person. Questions of a detailed nature on course materials,
research essays, etc, must be done in person. I will not discuss essays by
email.
Also please note that I will not be accepting assignments by email, unless there are extenuating circumstances and we have discussed it. Otherwise a printed copy is required in class on the day that the essay is due.
