Turnitin - online plagiarism prevention
I am most
impressed by students with integrity because it more more highly and accurately of a person
than any excellent test scores. Plagiarism is a very serious offense and violators will be dealt accordingly. I know it is tempting, but show me what you know not how well you can copy. Always give credit to source by using correct MLA citatation, see writing. |

Reading I'm terribly sadden by the fact that students are losing out on the true beauty and benefits of reading. Why should you read? Our experiences in this time time is limited. We cannot experience everything, everywhere, and everyone the world has to offer; however, books will overcome our limitations and broaden our perspectives. Added benefit? Research indicates that reading and writing is a reciprocal process: read more = write better. Plus, it's just fun. The key is to find a book you will enjoy. It's out there.
