Examples of plagiarism are:

Time Management and Workload:
This course will be a fair amount of work. You should expect to spend at least 1-2 hours everyday outside of class studying and working on homework or class projects. That means that you have to schedule and manage your time carefully every week so that you will have time to get everything done on time. Do not wait until the night before to do your assignments. Do them early so that you can do a good job and increase your learning potential.
Student Code of Conduct and Academic Integrity

Examples of unacceptable behavior include, but are not limited to, talking out of turn, arriving late or leaving early without a valid reason, allowing cell phones/pagers to ring, and inappropriate behavior toward the instructor or classmates. The instructor can refer any violation of the Student Code of Conduct to the Dean of Student Success for investigation. Specific student rights, responsibilities, and appeal procedures are listed in the Student Code of Conduct at: Student Code

Keys To Success In This Class:

Take responsibility for your education and actions.
Seek additional help if needed through the Writing Lab, tutoring, or me.
Complete all assignments and homework.
Be on time and come to all class meetings and communicate with your site supervisor, IBP instructor, and other students about any issues, concerns, or questions.
Come with a smile, respect for yourself and others, a positive attitude, and be ready to learn.

I will accept late work up to four days late, but you will receive a 10% lower grade for each day you are late.

Problems and Communication
If you are having a problem that is affecting your ability to do well in class or you don’t understand something, please communicate with me what’s going on so that I can help you! For example, if you are having a personal problem that is affecting your attendance, I want to know about it so I can suggest ways to solve your problem. If you received a low grade on an assignment and don’t understand why your grade is so low, I want you to ask me about it. Please don’t stay silent in class. Communication is the key! I’m happy to talk to you in person, by email, or over the phone. Don’t be a stranger! I want to help you be successful!

If you are a student who has a disability or learning challenge for which you have documentation or have seen someone for treatment and if you feel you may need accommodations in order to be successful in college, please contact us as soon as possible.
If you are a person who requires assistance in case of an emergency situation, such as a fire, earthquake, etc, please meet with your individual instructors to develop a safety plan within the first week of the quarter.
If you are a student with a documented autism spectrum disorder, there is an additional access program available to you. Contact Autism Spectrum Navigators Email and phone number is on the web page. ASN is located in the Library Media Center in D125.

Please visit our website at Disability Resource Center for application information into our program and other helpful links.
Public Safety and Emergencies
Public Safety is located in the K building and can be reached at 425-564-2400 (easy to remember because it’s the only office on campus open 24 hours a day—2400). Among other things, Public Safety serves as our Parking Permits, Lost and Found, and Emergency Notification center. Please ensure you are signed up to receive alerts through our campus alerting system by registering at RAVE Alert Registration
If you work late and are uneasy about going to your car, Public Safety will escort you to your vehicle. To coordinate this, please phone ahead and let Public Safety know when and where you will need an escort.
Please familiarize yourself with the emergency postings by the door of every classroom and know where to go in the event of an evacuation. Your instructor will be asked if anyone might still be in the building, so check in before you do anything else. Emergency responders will search for anyone unaccounted for.
If a major emergency occurs, please follow these three rules:
1) Take directions from those in charge of the response -We all need to be working together.
2) Do not get in your car and leave campus (unless directed to) - Doing so will clog streets and prevent emergency vehicles from entering the scene. Instead, follow directions from those in charge.
3) In an emergency, call 911 first, then Public Safety.
Please do not hesitate to call Public Safety if you have safety questions or concerns at any time. You may also visit the Public Safety web page for answers to your questions.
Religious Holidays
Students who expect to miss classes, examinations, or any other assignments as a consequence of their religious observance should be provided with a reasonable alternative opportunity to complete such academic responsibilities. It is the obligation of students to provide faculty with reasonable notice of the dates of religious holidays on which they will be absent, preferably at the beginning of the term. Students who are absent on days of examinations or class assignments should be offered an opportunity to make up the work without penalty (if they have previously arranged to be absent), unless it can be demonstrated that a makeup opportunity would constitute an unreasonable burden on a member of the faculty. Should disagreement arise over what constitutes an unreasonable burden or any element of this policy, parties involved should consult the department chair, or Dean.
Student Concerns
Should you have concerns about any part of the class, please come to me with them. If for any reason you don’t feel comfortable coming to me, the usual next step would be to speak with the ELI Department Chair, Ivan Breen <ibreen@bellevuecollege.edu>. You can also refer concerns to the Arts and Humanities Division Associate Dean, Tuan Dang <tuan.dang@bellevuecollege.edu> or the Assistant Dean, Scott Bessho <scott.bessho@bellevuecollege.edu>. An additional resource for concerns you find aren’t being addressed by faculty or administration is the Ombuds Office
Of course, any additional specifics that you want to enforce in your classroom should be included on your syllabus.

I will seek to keep information you share private to the greatest extent possible. However, I am required to share information regarding sexual assault and other forms of sexual misconduct (e.g. dating violence, domestic violence, stalking) that may have occurred on campus or that may impact someone on campus with the Title IX Coordinator.

Statement on Plagiarism and Cheating NEW!
Students are in ELI classes to learn English and ELI teachers are here to help them. Cheating makes that harder for both the students and the teachers. “Cheating” is also called “academic dishonesty.”

plagiarism (copying word-for-word from a Web page, book or article)
using a paper or homework assignment written by someone else
copying a classmate’s homework (partially or wholly)
using your own essay or presentation from a previous quarter
using “cheat notes” during a test
copying answers from a classmate’s paper or test
giving answers to a classmate during a test
giving your own assignment to a classmate
Academic dishonesty is not acceptable at Bellevue College or in any American classes. Participating in academic dishonesty in any way, including writing a paper or taking a test for someone else, may result in severe penalties.
If you plagiarize:
First time: Your teacher will work with you so that you understand what not to do.
Second time: You will fail the assignment.
Third time: You will fail the class and be reported to the Associate Dean of Student Services.
You will possibly be asked to leave BC.
If you cheat:
First time: You will fail the assignment and have no opportunity to make it up.
Second time: You will fail the class and be reported to the Associate Dean of Student Services.
You will possibly be asked to leave the school.
