A Note on Written Work

All written work should be delivered in electronic form to the professor, adequately cited and on time. Papers should be filed at least 24 hours prior to class. ONLY electronic submissions of any writing will be accepted by the instructor. Please include your name, date, assignment number, and “INDS 430A” at the top of the first page. As part of the instruction in the course, it is hoped that ALL course information can be sourced ONLINE and as cheaply as possible. At the beginning of each class approximately 10 minutes will be devoted to each student's development of sourcing the readings and viewings for each section, detailing sources and the cost of obtaining the necessary materials. Previously used reading and viewing materials are perfectly acceptable so long as they are obtained legally and legitimately. Extra credit will be given to students who have the lowest cost of materials for each class. In all cases, as noted below, these sources MUST be legal and legitimate and MUST respect US copyright laws. Use of electronic document, spreadsheet and presentation software to deliver course assignments is NOT restricted to any one type of expensive software--all free legitimate formats and forms of electronic delivery, such as google docs or open office, are acceptable.
