Tips for Success

Complete your own work. Academic integrity is expected. If there is question

concerning the authorship of any student performance, the work will be verified.

Monitor your progress to make sure you are on track for completion.

Complete the assignments in order.

Read all pages and complete all activities in each section.

If you are struggling with a lesson, complete the study sheets.

Study for your quizzes and unit tests. Take the test shortly after completing the unit.

See the Student Code of Conduct for the academic integrity policy.
