Plagiarism occurs when writers deliberately or unintentionally use another person's language, ideas, or materials and present them as their own without properly acknowledging and citing the source. Academic Integrity and Plagiarism in this course results in one or more of the following consequences: failure of the assignment, referral to the Dean of Instruction, and/or disciplinary actions by the Director Student Life. Cite sources carefully, completely, and meticulously; when in doubt, cite.

Our text can use some technical language, so I would recommend reading the assigned readings after watching the corresponding video lectures.Videos In each content module, there will be a video of me or someone else explaining the main concepts and problem-solving skills (like a mini-lecture).

The post-lecture quizzes will consist of a few multiple-choice questions. You will find the questions and possible answers at the end of each video lecture.
