Check the announcements regularly for any reminders or changes in class information. You are expected to use Canvas and check your USF email on a daily basis; that is the only way I have of communicating announcements to the whole class. If you have trouble uploading to Canvas or downloading readings from Canvas, contact Campus Computing, not me (see http://www.usfsm.edu/campuscomputing/index.php, or call 359-4350). You are responsible for uploads and downloads from our site. Please be sure early in the semester to check that you can do both.
Plagiarism results in a FF grade for the class. If you are unsure what constitutes plagiarism, Georgetown University has a great web page to help you know at http://gervaseprograms.georgetown.edu/hc/plagiarism.html. So does Purdue University, at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_plagiar.html. Any attempt to use the work of others as your own is grounds for failing the course. I use the university software to check for plagiarism. There is no negotiation if I find you have plagiarized.
