• Please read through and include the two statements below on your title page. If you do NOT include these statements, I will not accept or grade your essay. Be certain you have read the statements through as you are held accountable for them. They are required as a way to force you to read and follow directions, and also as a way to ensure that you fully understand the consequences of both intentional and unintentional plagiarism.
Statement 1: "I have read the Ohlone College plagiarism and cheating policy included in the syllabus. If I found anything unclear in the Plagiarism and Cheating portion of the assignment directions or the syllabus, I have emailed Professor McCarty for further clarification. I submit these essays understanding fully what constitutes cheating/ plagiarism, including that looking at any materials not assigned for this course (like googling for information) is considered cheating. I understand that using a translator is considered cheating. I also understand that any incidents of plagiarism/cheating on these essays will be construed as intentional efforts to cheat and result in my failing and being sent to the Vice President for additional sanctions from the college, including possible expulsion. I also understand that if I am aware of a classmate cheating or attempting to cheat and do I not come forward, regardless of whether or not I responded to or was involved in the cheating incident itself, I will be considered complicit in cheating and earn a 0 on the essay."
Statement 2: "I have double checked my essays to ensure that I have a title page, a complete bibliography for each essay, page numbers, 1" margins, 12- point font, and citations in EVERY paragraph for both quoted information AND paraphrased information. I have also read through the ‘When and How to Quote and Cite’ materials we covered week 1 to ensure that I have cited correctly, and if I was unclear on how to cite I have used the guides provided or contacted Professor McCarty for assistance. I have also read through the ‘Common Writing Errors’ section of the assignment directions as well to ensure that I am not making any of those common writing errors, including writing paragraphs that run more than 1/2-3/4 of a double spaced page or include more than one major idea. Lastly, I have included the minimum required examples (examples from 1 film and 1 primary source document) in each essay."
