In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report, or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a …show more content…
Using removable devices on more than one computer creates the possibility of infecting computers and diskettes with a computer virus. This exposes the computers of the college, your personal computer, and any others you may be using to potentially damaging viruses. The college has aggressive anti-virus procedures in place to protect its computers, but cannot guarantee that a virus might not temporarily infect one of its machines. It is your responsibility to protect all computers under your control and use and ensure that each diskette you use, whenever or wherever you use it, has been scanned with anti-virus software. Since new viruses arise continually, your anti-virus software must be kept current. Moreover, since no anti-virus software will find every virus, keeping backup copies is extremely

    Course Description: This course is an introduction to the history of the United States from European colonization of North America to the Reconstruction. It is also an introduction to ways historians look at the past and think about evidence. There are two main themes. One is to understand the origins of the groups known as European‐Americans, Native Americans, and African‐Americans. Far from timeless categories, these “groups” and their “cultures” were created through concrete interactions among people from Europe, Africa, and North America in the place that became the United States. The second theme is to understand how political, economic, and social institutions emerged in the United States during this period. These require an assessment of what “democracy” actually meant as a series of practices by participants within the context of an economy that depended on slave labor and often‐violent land acquisition, as well as the subsequent implication of such interaction on social institutions.…

    American history, from the founding of the first colonies, to the completion of the reconstruction phase of the Union, is an exciting time period that encompasses nearly two-hundred years of fascinating history. Throughout this course, I learned about key historical figures, and events that make up the very fabric of this nation in which I live.

To give a simple answer to a complex question, the three events that I found most intriguing include, the leadership, and demise of Jefferson Davis, learning why southerners believed they needed slavery to establish a prosperous economy, and the infamous Indian policy of Andrew Jackson.…
