    In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report, or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a…

    One change I would make with my self-perception would be the way I see same-sex attraction because it has little to do with my sexuality, but a lot to do with my self-image and self-worth since I am gay. I have always noticed most of us guys who are gay and or experience same-sex attraction have good self-images; and we get along well in life. But I have to say that I have low feelings of self-worth; because my gut-level feelings tell me they are not worth much. So I do believe that can change my self-image or not, I see so many people who feels it is not right when they find out that I am gay. This is my self-image that establishes…

    While I have encountered a wide range of challenging subject in Fundamental Interpersonal Communication it has provided me with much insight in which I was unaware of. It has taught me how essential developing self-awareness really is. Without self-awareness is crucial part of our person growth and development. Most importantly I am leaving this class with the awareness and capability to identify issues and problems that could contribute to my overall relationship with family members, friends and my career. I would recommend this class to anyone that would like to enhance their communication skills for whatever reason.…
