Failure of two courses in nursing will result in expulsion from the nursing program. COURSE POLICIES:** As adult learners, you are responsible for your own learning. Please feel free to contact the instructor at any time if you have concerns about the conduct of this course and I will work with you to alleviate your concerns. To that end, students are expected to keep up with the work for each week and contribute to the discussion in a timely manner. You will be expected to make up any missed material, but will lose points for late submissions. Only those papers which are typed and prepared according to the APA manual of style will be accepted for grading. (American Psychological Association. (2009). _The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association_ (6th ed.) Washington, DC: Author. Students are strongly encouraged to turn in rough drafts of the APA Paper for critique prior to turning in the paper on the assigned due date. All papers and care plans must be turned in on the due date or points will be deducted unless prior arrangements are made with the professor. In order to keep the course on track other assignments and discussion postings must be posted by the due date or points will be deducted unless prior arrangements are made with the professor. **Plagiarism:** While reviewing student papers I occasionally notice that some of them have what appear to be direct quotes from sources (in some cases as long as a paragraph or longer) that were either not cited or not set apart by "quotes" indicating that it was a direct quote. Putting other people's work in your paper without making it clear that it is a direct quote could be construed as plagiarism by the ISU community. I want to make sure you are all aware of polices concerning plagiarism and know how to correctly paraphrase to avoid any problems. ISU’s plagiarism policy can be viewed at: **http://www.indstate.edu/sjp/code/code2004.pdf**. Also, the following link gives information on how to avoid plagiarism: The plagiarism prevention flowchart **(http://library.indstate.edu/academic-integrity/plagiarismflowchart.pdf)** and a tutorial from the library ( **http://lib.indstate.edu/tools/tutorials/plagiarism/** ). Please note that even if you paraphrase another’s work, you must also cite your source in text, just as you would a direct quote. Plagiarism also includes turning in your own work that has been previously turned in for another course’s assignments. Turning in another’s work (such as copying a web page in part or in whole or submitting another student’s work) as your own without giving credit is also plagiarism and can be dealt with by either an assignment of zero credit for an assignment, assignment of failure for the course or recommendation of dismissal from the nursing major.
