CHEATING WARNING!

 

If you cheat on a quiz, test or essay, you will get a zero and a warning. A second time puts you out of the class with a note for future teachers.

Cheating means taking other people’s writing and submitting it as your own. That can be a paragraph, a sentence, or even a phrase. There is a difference between using a phrase you learned 10 years ago and a phrase you just copied from the internet. I’m pretty good at spotting the difference.

The best way to learn is to practice a skill and then test it. A good test will reveal what you are doing well and what you have to improve upon. You work on what’s weak, build on what’s strong- this is the path to success. If you cheat on a test, you hide your errors from the teacher and yourself. No learning can take place because nothing is revealed- nothing good, nothing bad.

The real problem is that by cheating you have cheated yourself of an opportunity to learn and improve. So, by cheating on a test, you have kicked your learning down the road.

When you get to the next class, you will not have the skills to succeed.

 

FREE ADVICE#3: Face your English problems now. Do the work now. Be brave. Don’t waste another day.
