You will want to monitor your grades in Schoology for the following reasons: • Monitoring feedback and taking note of your grades frequently on assignments and tests makes you more aware of how you are doing and provides you with an opportunity to reach out to your teacher for help before it is too late. • Are you getting behind? Monitoring your assignments can help you pace your- self more accurately. Go to the Online Learning Guide, Handbook and Grades tab to read the complete details: https://content.dodea.edu/VS/HS/orientation/section4.html Plagiarism: When completing written assignments or projects, your goal should be to look at what other people have done, analyze that information, properly synthesize it into your work, then give them credit on a works cited or reference page … not to copy/paste directly from the online source, and/or neglect to include a citation. This practice is known as plagiarism, or the act of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Please note that you do not have to copy/paste text, “ word for word ”, for it to be con- sidered plagiarism.
