 General Information
Submission
Electronic copies via Moodle. Note that each assignment will have specific
instructions for submission. Please refer to the “Course Description” for
information regarding late assignments, extensions, special consideration, and
plagiarism.
Plagiarism
Students are expected to hand in their own work. Each document and website
will be quite unique in the way that each student goes about their design. It is in
the students’ best interest to make sure that there are sufficient specific details
contained in their work that would make it difficult for others to use the work as
their own. Any suspicion of plagiarism will be taken seriously and thoroughly
investigated and, if proven, dealt with in accordance with the University’s policy
on Plagiarism.
