Fill in everything..... Do a good job... walk away if you get annoyed.​

​

Proofread everything you write.....​ use good grammar, complete sentences, appropriate punctuation and capitalization.

​Read your messages/feedback from me. Sometimes I have something important to tell you.... I can't always tell you things in class. Personal

​

If I ask you to redo something..... Redo it.... I want to give you more points.

If you need help outside of class..... you have my Zoom link. Message me!

I don't mind helping you if you're trying to do homework and get stuck.​

​Plagiarism--it's bigger than

you think!

​Copying and pasting from an online source or any source.

​

These sites that offer help..... don't trust them.

It's against the law and can have serious consequences.​

​Rewording is not enough to escape plagiarism. It's too close to the original.
