As part of our curriculum, we will engage in regular writing and reading activities designed to enhance your skills and promote thoughtful discussions. Our goal is for you to leave this class not only with new knowledge but also with stronger communication skills that will help you succeed in life. We encourage you to approach our class with maturity and respect, as this will create a positive environment where everyone can share and learn from each other.
Academic Integrity
Cheating of any type will not be tolerated. No student shall plagiarize or copy another person's work and submit it as his or her own work. The use of AI is prohibited unless authorized by either Mr. Morris or Mr. Rogers.
If you are caught doing any of the above, you will automatically be given a zero for the assignment and potentially referred to the administration for further discipline.
