Plagiarism
And Cheating
You are expected to be honest and honorable in your fulfillment
of assignments and in test-taking situations. Plagiarism and
cheating are serious forms of academic misconduct. Examples
of them are given in the Student Academic Handbook: http://www.clas.uiowa.edu/students/academic_handbook/.
An instructor who suspects a student of plagiarism or cheating
must inform the student (in writing) as soon as possible after
the incident has been observed or discovered. Instructors
who detect cheating or plagiarism may decide, in consultation
with the departmental executive officer, to reduce the student's
grade on the assignment or the course, even to assign an F.
The instructor writes an account of the chronology of the
plagiarism or cheating incident for the departmental executive
officer who sends an endorsement of the written report of
the case to the Associate Dean for academic programs. A copy
of the report will be sent to the student.

Quilts from Caring Hands (QCH) is striving to bring this feeling
to children in need in Oregon's Willamette Valley area. Since
its inception in 1990, QCH has given away over 2610 quilts.
In the past few years, QCH has averaged 265 quilts a year.
The primary purpose of Quilts from Caring
Hands is to make quilts for children-at-risk: the homeless,
those in foster care, drug addicted, AIDS infected, visually
impaired, abused, as well as infants of teen mothers.
Quilts from Caring Hands volunteers make baby,
crib, and twin-size quilts, and lap quilts for nursing home
residents. Our volunteers assemble tactile quilts and toys
for visually impaired children. Each quilt we make for
a child is unique. We also make and donate Christmas
stockings to a local children's home. In the past, we have
made bags to hold heart monitors for hospital patients and
have created pre-Braille activity books for pre-school children.
