Plagiarism - Unacknowledged use of someone else's words, ideas, or opinions. For example, copying, paraphrasing, or using any material from books, the Internet, or any other source without giving proper credit in a citation and/or bibliography.
Cheating - Using or copying work that is not your own OR allowing your work to be used or copied. This prohibits using work from students in your class, from students in other sections, or from tests or papers from previous years of the course. It also prohibits discussing individual assignments with classmates before or during work on them. In general, all work you turn in must be your own unless your teacher has specifically authorized collaborative work in the process of doing an assignment or in the presentation of the final piece of work.
Late Work - Major assignments turned in after the date and time due will be penalized 10% each day late. Minor assignments (i.e., daily homework) turned in late may receive a zero at the discretion of the teacher.
Absence for Tests - A student absent on the day of a scheduled test needs to, upon the day of return to school, meet with the teacher before 8:00 to make arrangements for making up the test. The student should be prepared to take the test that day, unless 1) the absence from school was extensive, or 2) the student already has two tests that day. A student absent for one day the day before a test should plan to take the test as scheduled, unless the teacher deems that critical material was missed on that day.
