Q: What is the definition of improper collaboration or inappropriate collaboration?
A: Improper collaboration is sharing with or receiving information from another person in regards to an academic assignment or examination that you are assumed to be working on alone for an individual mark; many schools consider this academic fraud. To avoid this issue, unless you are specifically assigned to collaborate with a group or partner, assume all academic assignments to be done individually.
Q: What is the difference between getting help from someone vs. cheating?
A: If you explain the question to someone then you should be okay because then the person still must figure out the answer (both of you are handing in separate submissions). If you simply give (or communicate in some form) your answer to a friend then this is NOT okay, even if your friend says that they will only use your solution only as a "guide" to figure out the answer and "promises" that they won't just copy it into their own paper.

Please complete this (required) survey by May 6th in order to receive your cap and gown on time, and also, againnnnnn, to meet the MDCPS graduation component. You will need to list the college/plan you intend on, a potential career path, and any money you were offered by ANY of your accepted schools, not just the one you will be attending. (Use your financial aid letters from your college portals to literally copy and paste that info. to get it right.)
If you have any questions, please see or message me (Vivian) or Mr. Miller.

As you complete your public schooling with MDCPS, it is a requirement to complete a final exit survey to document your future plans. This senior survey is now available through your Scoir account and is quick, painless, and - did I already say - required. It’s sooo required, in fact, that the district briefing requires us to hold caps and gowns from seniors not completing it.
Please complete this (required) survey by May 6th in order to receive your cap and gown on time, and also, againnnnnn, to meet the MDCPS graduation component. You will need to list the college/plan you intend on, a potential career path, and any money you were offered by ANY of your accepted schools, not just the one you will be attending. (Use your financial aid letters from your college portals to literally copy and paste that info. to get it right.)
If you have any questions, please see or message me (Vivian) or Ms. Cardenas - good luck!

Write an essay of a minimum of four paragraphs on the following ACT Essay Practice Prompt.
This is a graded assignment. Send the final copy of the essay to [email protected] by the end of the school day on Wednesday, 4/7 (Per. 3) and Thursday, 4/8 (Per. 2, 4, 6).
Prompt
Most schools have established honor codes or other rules to prevent students from cheating on exams and other school assignments. Many students admit to cheating, arguing that the practice has become so common—and is so rarely penalized—that it is the only way to survive in today's competitive academic world. Educators, however, feel that such behaviors only hurt the students, and that cheating in school is just the first step to more academic dishonesty, professional misconduct, and unethical business practices in the future.
In your view, should high schools become more tolerant of cheating?
In your essay, take a position on this question. You may write about either one of the two points of view given or you may present a different point of view on this question. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
4/7 and 4/8 Journal #22 - Holmes tells Watson, "The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes" (36). What does he mean by this? Do you think this is true of most people? Why or why not? Give a real-life example to support your opinion.

4/9 and 4/12 Read Chapters 7-9 of The Hound of the Baskervilles, answering study questions.
Q: What is the definition of improper collaboration or inappropriate collaboration?
A: Improper collaboration is sharing with or receiving information from another person in regards to an academic assignment or examination that you are assumed to be working on alone for an individual mark; many schools consider this academic fraud. To avoid this issue, unless you are specifically assigned to collaborate with a group or partner, assume all academic assignments to be done individually.
Q: What is the difference between getting help from someone vs. cheating?
A: If you explain the question to someone then you should be okay because then the person still must figure out the answer (both of you are handing in separate submissions). If you simply give (or communicate in some form) your answer to a friend then this is NOT okay, even if your friend says that he or she will only use your solution only as a *guide* to figure out the answer and *promises* that he or she won't just copy it into their own paper.
