25. Redo policy If you get less than a 60% grade on an assignment you may ask for a copy of my booster document. The same applies if you get a low score on a test but would require a meeting first. Discussion posts can always be edited.

26. Academic honesty Your work should be written by you. Plagiarism is when you copy without giving credit to the original author. Citing sources at the end of a paper is not the same as giving credit. Let’s look at a site together: http://science.widener.edu/svb/essay/plagiar.html
