Good Practices
Avoid plagiarism and cheating. Plagiarism is defined by the college as presenting the work of others without crediting them. If there are phrases, sentences, or paragraphs taken from the work of others, you will have to rewrite your paper. If this happens again, your paper will not be accepted. You can review the student tutorial at the website in order to get tips on how to avoid plagiarism.
Cheating on a test will result in an "F" on the test.
THIS COURSE MOVES VERY QUICKLY. DO NOT FALL BEHIND IN YOUR READING, VIDEO VIEWING, ASSIGNMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS!
