Resources

Resources for a specific class can be found by clicking on the link above for that class.

The Ohlone Library provides many resources, both in print and on-line, to help you in your studying. Many of these are listed on the Library's web site, http://www2.ohlone.edu/org/library/studres.html. Pay particular attention to the section labeled, History and Politics.

If you need help with your writing, please visit the Writing Lab on the second floor of Hyman Hall. Instructors there will help you with the mechanics of writing a good essay, including refining your thesis, structuring the essay, focusing each paragraph, and including footnotes and a bibliography.

Students requiring special services or arrangements because of hearing, visual, or other disabilities should contact me, a counselor, and the Disabled Student Services Office.

Cheating and Plagiarism

It would seem to go without saying that cheating is not allowed. The penalty for cheating on an assignment or a test is an automatic F for that assignment. The instructor may also give the student an F in the class, and may, in extreme cases, refer the student to the Vice President of Student Services for administrative sanctions (such as suspension or expulsion).

Here are some examples of cheating:

Plagiarism is the act of representing someone else's work as your own. Avoiding plagiarism does not require you to avoid using other people's work; it does require you to give proper credit to the source of the material. In scholarly papers, such credit is typically given in footnotes. Copying material, either verbatim or in substance, from published sources without giving the original author appropriate credit is plagiarism. Please be aware that copying from Web sites without giving credit is plagiarism, just as much as copying from a book or from another student's paper, and I will find out.

You can, and should, read the College Academic Dishonesty Policy, or you can obtain a copy from your Division Dean's office or the Office of Student Services.
