This link leads to my list of marking symbols when I grade your assignments. 

NOTE:   

All grades will be assigned using King's University College 's alpha scale (A+ - F). Please make copies of your assignments before submission. Keep all assignments in electronic form (on file or on disk) until the semester is over and you have received your official final grade. Essays are due at the beginning of class on the due date. Essays submitted past the due date without medical certificate or a prior arrangement with me will be penalized one alpha grade per day. No faxed or e-mailed assignments will be accepted.

Academic dishonesty is a serious offence with potentially disastrous consequences, and I intend to hold you to the highest standards of integrity and honesty. Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with University policies regarding scholarly ethics and academic integrity (see current King's calendar).

There is a zero tolerance policy and incidents remain permanently on your academic record. Stiff penalties apply for offenders:

•  First offense = automatic zero on the assignment.

•  Second offense = automatic failure of the course.

•  Subsequent offense = convening of Discipline Committee with power to recommend penalties up to and including expulsion from the University.

Please discuss with me any concerns you may have regarding your research or other matters. I will also address plagiarism and proper citation methods throughout the semester, and post information on our website.
