Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays all!
I hope you are enjoying your holidays.

I have had a change of heart on the trial. We won't have the class time for a trial. The research on Attaturk is still part of the Winter Break work. So you will have that plus the Stearns, the DBQ essay, and the reading homework (w/ red lines and quiz) to keep you busy.

All the winter Work will be due on the first day back NO EXCUSES.

Peace,
Mr.Parker

Honor Code Assignment

Unfortunately it has become necessary to discuss academic integrity among our AP World History community. I am making this a class assignment worth 15 points. Read the following honor code for AP World History and leave a comment. I will use the comments to fine tune the Honor Code but the gist of the document is that there are standards for the class and by enrolling in the class you are agreeing to those standards.

Advanced Placement World History Honor Code

I will not give or receive aid in examinations; I will not give or receive unpermitted aid in class work, in the preparation of reports, or in any other work that is to be used by the instructor as the basis of grading;
I will do my share and take an active part in seeing to it that others uphold the spirit and letter of the Honor Code.


Examples of conduct that have been regarded as being in violation of the Honor Code include (but are not limited to):

Copying from another or allowing another to copy from one’s own paper
Unpermitted collaboration
Plagiarism
Giving or receiving unpermitted aid on a take-home examination
Representing as one’s own work the work of another
Giving or receiving aid on an academic assignment under circumstances in which a reasonable person should have known that such aid was not
permitted



This honor code was adapted from the Stanford University Honor Code, it is not meant to replace or in any way supplant the NMCHS Academic Integrity Policy. Your comments and thoughts are valuable to me and thank you for completing this assignment.
Peace,
Mr. Parker
