 * Plagiarism: ** Listen all ye members of this here classroom, this is your major research project for this class. It is much different from a traditional “paper” so please listen up. In order to “pass” Junior year (and thus graduate high school) you MUST complete this project. **NOTE:** This is a web based project. The temptation to “cut and paste” might be very high, however, as easy as it is for you to cut and paste, it is just as easy for me to cut and paste your work right back into Google and find exactly where it came from. **Plagiarism of any kind will result in an automatic ZERO**, no ifs ands or buts—you have been warned. If you plagiarize (and you want to try and pass the class/graduate) you will still have to re-do the project, but you will still get a ZERO. Please do not plagiarize; believe it or not it pains me when you do it. If you have questions on what plagiarism is, please look at the packet I gave you in August, or ask me—OKAY?
