Class Rules
Be adults - Be on time, bring your materials, hand in assignments on time

  • Also, if you need to step outside (bathroom, water, take a phone call), no problem.  You don't need to ask.  Just step out quietly.

  • If someone asks a question, it is respectful to answer.  Staring is rude.  Silence is rude.
  • Someone else is talking?  You are LISTENING. 
Be brave
Speak.  
  • The only way you will improve is by making mistakes.  No mistakes?  No improvement.

A word about Plagiarism:
From the Native English Speaking Professor:
Definitions:  It is saying that someone else's work is yours.  It is cheating.  Plagiarism is not accepted.
                              
This is plagiarism:
1.  You find someone else's words and then you put your name on it and hand it in.  You did not do the work.
2.  Giving a presentation of someone else’s work or research.

This is *NOT* Plagiarism:
1.  Using someone else's words to teach you.
2.  Research.
3.  Quoting someone and giving them credit. 
You will receive a zero if you plagiarize someone else’s work.
