Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS): College life can be stressful, and it is normal to feel overwhelmed at times. UCSD has a staff of professionals who are available for confidential meetings to discuss any personal concerns you might have. Feel free to contact CAPS at any time to set up an appointment: http://caps.ucsd.edu.

Academic Integrity: MMW expects all assignments to be the product of original individual work for the course. Assignments submitted with integrity give credit where credit is due and honestly acknowledge others’ work by adhering to standards of citation, assignment requirements for use of sources and materials, and University guidelines.

It is your responsibility to know and observe all of the UCSD rules concerning academic integrity and plagiarism. Familiarize yourself with your responsibilities and rights under the UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship, and with the MMW policies governing academic integrity included in the MMW Formatting and Submission GuidelinesLinks to an external site. Assignments suspected of misconduct will be referred to the Academic Integrity Office (AIO). Assignments found to be in violation of UCSD’s Policy on Integrity of Scholarship will automatically receive a 0. If you have questions about what constitutes plagiarism, how to credit the work of others properly, or how to evaluate sources for quality and reliability, please talk to your TA and/or me to discuss the matter. It is better to turn something in late than to turn in something plagiarized! We want to read your work!

Students with disabilities: Students requesting accommodations and services for this course due to a disability or injury must provide a current Authorization for Accommodation (AFA) letter issued by the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) prior to eligibility for requests. Receipt of AFAs in advance is necessary for appropriate planning for the provision of reasonable accommodations.
