A note about plagiarism. Read each question on the form carefully. Some prompts call for you to respond with original writing. When you see a question on the form that contains the phrase, “in your own words”, do not copy/paste anything written by someone else. This is plagiarism and its a form of academic fraud. Consequences are serious and include being kicked out of the college.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You are expected to visit a museum and examine artworks in-person. Submitting a field report for an artwork that you did not examine first hand, such as viewing online, will be regarded as academic fraud.
