Welcome back!
As safe as I will have said in class, there are some fundamental rules we have to respect for the outcome of the course is best for everyone.
First and foremost, I want to very clear that not tolerate acts of plagiarism of any kind . Among them are the following:
- cheating on a test. Make
- "copy-paste" in the drafting of a job, be it a task or final test.
- write something that somebody else has already published, without reference or author (s)
By the way, I found a very interesting definition of the term plagiarism:
"term derived from Latin word plagiarism, which originally meant "fraudulently selling the slave of others as their own ", a crime he was sentenced to flogging" (from http://www.elplagio.com/Plagio/3.2.Historia_del_plagio.html ) Therefore, and following the ancient tradition, there will be serious consequences to those who perform this type of scam. Among them will find that those who submit work that is not yours or has cheated on a test will be dropped from the course and reported to the Coordination for the case is discussed in the Technical Board.
Secondly, before submitting work, please check spelling and grammar. A good percentage of your score depends on two factors.
important Thirdly, there is a rule that we in the classroom with the most timely manner possible, in each of the sessions of the course . There is plenty of very interesting material to cover in a short time. We ask you to please arrive on time if not come as quietly and explain his tardiness at the end of class.
Other important rules are:
- not enter the food and drink into the classroom
- say words or expressions not vulgar or bombastic inside or outside the classroom. You are college students, ie less than 1% of the Mexican population Lucky winners of societal support for maintaining the country's future, and I think the better we will express ourselves better, does not it?
- Last but not least, is the rule to read the assigned material BEFORE class. Therefore suggest three activities carried out daily: READ, READ AND READ ... And remember to say that it is important to READ?
I hope these work rules help us have a good semester. PD
