Portfolio statement

The signed portfolio statement is an acknowledgement that you have read, understood and agreed to the requirements of this course and will abide by the zero tolerance policy re plagiarism.

How do you plan to keep track of all the deadlines - both for this class and your others?

Tips:

• Add them to the calendar in your phone
• Write them in your paper agenda

• Write them in a calendar you hang in your room
• Make a timeline for yourself and keep it easily accessible at all times

What are some examples of plagiarism?

Examples: 

Reusing work you have already submitted for a grade

Using somebody else's work and calling it your own

Not including the sources you used when required 

Citing a source as an in-text reference but NOT as a direct quotation (reminder: direct quotes are NOT included in your word count as they are not your original ideas, hence they should be used sparingly).

Your English mark is 20% of the term 1 project grade.

As long as I complete the final press release and sign the statement I can pass, right?
