Students' written work will be submitted to turnitin.com for plagiarism checks and editing. Most universities and technical schools use this program, so this is a great opportunity for students to be accustomed to the sensitivity of the plagiarism scan and learn how to revise paraphrasing and source documenting. 

Classroom Expectations

1.)      No student has the right to disrupt, in any way, the learning environment of his or her classmates. See the discipline grid.

2.)      When you enter the classroom, you need to be seated with class materials out and ready to begin when the bell rings. Red: no computers out. Green: have your computer out.

3.)        Cell phones must be placed face down on the upper left corner of your desk immediately when you are seated. If you pick it up at any point during class, it will be confiscated (see discipline grid). If I allow you to use your phone for music during work time, you can start your playlist but immediately return your phone face down and leave it alone. No scrolling or changing songs or the phone will be confiscated. Getting to use your phone for music in class is a privilege, not a “right.”

4.)        Bathroom and drink breaks are the last 15 minutes of class unless there is an emergency. In order to leave the room for bathroom or drink breaks, you must leave your phone on my desk.

5.)        Respect your teacher and your classmates. Rude comments and bullying are not tolerated. This is a safe classroom. See the discipline grid.

6.)        Stay on task. If you use your work time wisely, you will have less homework to take home.

Try to have fun in English, even if it is not your favorite class!  Come in with an attitude that you are going to enjoy class and learn something – you will be surprised what a positive outlook can do!
