Writing Studies Placement

写作研究项目使用定向自我安置(DSP)来安排学生在第一年的写作课上. DSP过程使用对课程的调查和描述来指导学生选择最适合他们所准备的学术写作的写作课程路径. In the DSP process, 学生在决定哪门写作课程路径上承担代理责任:WRIT 100和WRIT 200课程顺序, or WRIT 101 and WRIT 201-230 course sequence. 如果国际学生和交换学生在写作方面需要额外的支持，他们将注册一个补充学分的独立学习课程.

完成WRIT 100和200或WRIT 101和WRIT 201 - 230是毕业所必需的，通常在大学的头两年完成.

Statement on Academic Honesty

十大正规网赌平台希望其社区的每一位成员都遵守学术荣誉守则. According to the Code, “Academic dishonesty is a serious violation of College policy because, among other things, 它破坏了社区成员之间的信任和诚实.” As a practical matter, 荣誉守则要求你提交的任何作品都必须是你自己的, unless specifically indicated otherwise by your instructor. 违反本准则的行为包括但不限于在测验或考试中抄袭和作弊. 学术荣誉守则的全文可以在学生手册中找到. 如果有理由怀疑你违反了学术荣誉守则, 你将被转介到学术荣誉委员会进行进一步审查和/或适当的处罚.
Examples of academic integrity violations include (but are not limited to): communicating -- in any format -- with other students about exam or quiz questions; taking credit for someone else’s work; using some else’s words as your own; searching online (i.e. “谷歌”)来寻找家庭作业或考试问题的解决方案(是的，这只是一个行为 looking is a violation); or accessing any online “help” platform, such as Chegg or Cramster, for aid with any graded work. In addition, 未经导师明确许可，将SMC课程中的任何内容发布到任何网站或场所(在线或其他方式)也是违反学术诚信的行为. 学生如果知道学术诚信受到侵犯，却没有向老师报告，也违反了荣誉守则, even if they did not commit the initial infraction.
