Honor+Code+Expectations


 * Honor Code for English III**

“On my honor as a gentleman, I have neither given nor received aid on this work.”

Unless otherwise specified, the honor code is to be taken literally in all circumstances, which means you may not receive or give aid on any assignment. If you are struggling, please come to me for help and we can arrange for extra help. It is not acceptable, in this course, for you to ever utilize Sparknotes, Cliffnotes, etc.

Accurate and thorough citations are crucial in this class. Anything less will be treated as plagiarism. Familiarize yourself with the [|guidelines for citations] and if you ever have a question, err on the side of providing more citations/information, although you should ask me as soon as possible.

Please take care in what you choose to discuss outside of class with peers. Although I hope that we will create an atmosphere and dialogue about ideas, it is important that you not derive your idea for a writing assignment from another student. The ideas that you use to respond to a writing assignment are just as important, if not more so, than the exact words you choose. To that end, be careful not to derive your ideas from your classmates instead of yourself. An idea “borrowed” from another individual will be considered a violation of the honor code.
