The  \nwithdrawal system at WSU is student-initiated, so if you are hoping to withdraw from the course you must do so yourself via pipeline. Students who do not formally withdraw from the course , but whom stop attending and/or do not complete the course requirements , will receive a failing grade in the course. Note that Sept. 10, 2014 is the last day to drop a class with tuition cancellation and Sept. 29, 2014 is the last day to withdraw from a class.  \nAcademic Dishonesty:  Assignments must be clearly distinguishable from those of other students or sources.  \nPlagiarism is considered cheating; any quoted material must be placed in quotation marks with proper references to the author included. “You may use statistical data or paraphrase other published works, but ONLY if you provide the complete citation, which includes author’s last name and year. This means, even if you use your own words, but the ideas are from something you read you must give credit to that author. [emphasis added] ”(Brumley, 2008) . If you think you might be plagiarizing, then you probably ARE! Copying entire paragraphs from sources is not appropriate even if citations are provided. Evidence of cheating or plagiarizing will result in automatic failure of the test/assignment and possibly the course.

Students with a range of disabilities can also receive help from Student Disability Services, located in the Undergraduate Library-phone number: (313) 577-1851;  \nemail: [studentdisability@wayne.edu](studentdisability@wayne.edu) ; website: [http://studentdisability.wayne.edu/](http://studentdisability.wayne.edu/) .  \nAssignment Format: All assignments must be typed, using standard (1 inch) margins, 12 pt. font (either Times  \nNew Roman or Arial), be double spaced and uploaded directly to Blackboard. Please do not e-mail assignments or bring in hard copies. By uploading to Blackboard I am able to provide detailed feedback on your assignments.  \nCitation Guidelines: You must use ASA/ASR/Chicago Style guidelines for Bibliography/Text Citations. See the  \nlink provided on Blackboard for the ASA style guide.  \nAppropriate Sources: While the internet will be useful in helping you locate journal articles, you are only to use the  \nInternet for limited research, such as downloading articles from peer-reviewed journals available through the WSU library.
