Academic honesty: (from the college catalog) St. Clair County
Community Collegeholds high ideals of academic and personal honesty
and expects every student to dolikewise. Dishonest acts like
cheating, lying, and plagiarism will not be tolerated.Instances of
academic dishonesty will be treated as serious offenses.

will be subject todisciplinary action. (This includes use of any
type of translator, whether electronic orhuman)In addition,
"working together" on homework is considered cheating and will
result ina zero for the assignment.Learning a language takes a lot
of time and practice! You should study and practicevocabulary and
grammar nightly. You should also read the lessons prior
toclass.
