American Language Writing Class Agreement

 American Language Writing Class Agreement

 

 

I will do my own work. 

 

• This means that I will not copy writing from another source. I will not use work that either I or someone I know has previously submitted. I will not pay anyone to do my work for me. I will not have a family member or friend (or paid service!) do my work for me. Engaging in this behavior is academic dishonesty. This behavior does not allow me to learn or grow as a writer, as a student, or as a person.

 

• I acknowledge that I will complete my writing in the allotted time during weeks 1, 2 and 6. 

• I acknowledge that I will complete all of my assignments on my own (except for team work). 

 

I will ask questions if I have any because I know that asking questions is how everyone learns.

 

I will follow the schedule and submit my work on time because I know that the schedule has been set up to allow me to build my skills as I go forward. If I have an issue, I will contact my teacher or my team to seek help right away. 

 

I will use the appropriate college resources to help me achieve my goals.

 

I will try my best on all of my work. 

 

I will use a growth mindset for this class. 

 

• This means that I will make mistakes but I will try to learn from them. I may fail some assignments, but I will become a stronger writer because of this. It means that I know that I am not perfect, but I will get better with effort. It means that I will try my best, and sometimes I will be frustrated. But in the end, I will learn more than I ever thought I could.

 

 

I, _Thi My Hanh Phan__, and by signing up for this class, I acknowledge that my goal is to improve myreading, writing and communication skills. Therefore, I agree to each of the following things listed above. I am ready for a challenger.
