25. Redo policy If you get less than a 60% grade on a quiz you may ask for a copy of my booster doc. If you get a low score on a test you can retake version B. 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
