Regardless of writing skill level, one may always benefit from an intelligent discussion with knowledgeable peers. The Writing Center is located in Humanities 210. In the hour-long written portion of the Regents Exam, students are required to write an essay based on personal experience and a general understanding of current events. Students who do not pass the Regents Exam by the time they have completed 75 hours of coursework are automatically placed in classes which provide additional writing support. Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in this class.
Academic dishonesty includes plagiarism, cheating, and fabrication.
Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of another and presenting them as your own. Cheating is using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise. Fabrication is falsification or invention of any information or citation in any academic exercise. All work you present in this class should be your own. When you consult outside sources, you must cite them according to MLA format.
