Reflections on Research!
What were your experiences (positive and negative) with doing research for the final research paper? What have you learned? What would you identify as the most useful research skill/technique? What do you feel you still need to work on?
Since I know you are also working on a paper, this can be pretty short (150 words)

Attendance: Students who miss more than 6 hours of class (3 class sessions) will fail the course. In addition, you are responsible to find out what you missed, get notes and changes from one of your classmates – and you have to make up work on your own. Tardiness: Lateness counts! (you get 1 free late-to-class; after that each tardy = ½ hour).
Academic Dishonesty & Plagiarism
MOTTO: “I'd rather be caught holding up a bank than stealing so much as a two-word phrase from another writer.” ~Jack Smith
Acts of academic dishonesty (e.g., plagiarism, cheating on examinations, obtaining unfair advantage, and falsification of records and official documents) are serious offenses. Any evidence of cheating or plagiarism will cause the student to be reported to the Dean with my recommendation for a final grade of F, class dismissal and record of incident on student’s transcript & file. Be forewarned: There are no second chances in my class for violations of this kind. It’s always better to come and see me (or someone else you trust) beforehand to talk about the reasons you might be tempted to cheat. Don’t plagiarize or cheat – there’s always an honest solution!
Electronics, Cell phones and Food
No electronic devises actively used in the classroom. Students will take notes by hand. Laptops, Sidekicks, Blackberries, Electronic recording devices etc. will not be used. Please turn off your cell phone when you come to class. No texting!!!!! No food or drink. If you are responsible for someone who may need to reach you during class –see me to waive this rule.
