The process

PhD Shared Sample Folder- Ethical Use Guidelines

• Please keep the materials of the folder within our department. Do not share this folder with non-UCSD, non-Literature students.

• If you wish, you may reach out to the author for further permission for use. Contacts are listed. If the work is anonymous, please respect the author’s choice.

• Share what you learn through synthesis. For example, summarizing what you learned through a sample and discussing that with a friend is different from duplicating the material and circulating it.

• Note- the PhD handbook gets edited and requirements do change. Always consult with the current handbook and your committee members to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.
