Terms of Usage

This agreement exists to protect me as a student. I have absolutely no intention of distributing my work so lazy *%#-suckers can take it and get me in *%# for their own stupidity. If you use work on any subsequent pages in your own work you should remember to cite it properly. I do not believe that my work is worth citing (yet) but is useful for germinating ideas. Please be responsible in reviewing this material, and be forewarned if I should be asked for any cooperation in an investigation concerning an academic offense that I will be forthright and honest, I will not be covering someone's hoop.

If you wish to view materials linked to the following web page (school.html) then you agree to abide by the University of Alberta Code of Student Behaviour as it pertains to my work.

The most relevant section is re-posted here, but if you click on the Agree link then it means you agree to abide from the entire Code of Student Behaviour, not just the part that is posted here.

Holes to fix before uploading school.html:

• Outline specific modifications to the Code of Student Behaviour (specifically 0.3.1(1) This Code applies to all conduct by a Student or by Students that has a real and substantial link to the University etc.)
• Cut down the code to just the plagiarism related material and replace blanket Code license (kind of annoying to people not in UofA who might want to look)

I have uploaded school.html despite potential abuses of my disclaimer. I think I've pretty much given enough warning to anyone who might think they can walk off with my work.
