Do not criticize other people’s thoughts or ideas. Respect all property, including school, personal and other people’s property. Cheating or passing someone else’s work as your own will not be tolerated and will result in a zero for both parties. This includes homework assignments. No eating or drinking during class.

If this becomes a reoccurring problem further action will be taken.
