 Academic Dishonesty
o Academic dishonesty includes behaviors such as cheating, inventing false

academic dishonesty. It usually involves an attempt by a student to show a
possession of a level of knowledge or skill which he/she in fact does not possess.

 In this year’s course you can expect your student to have limited number of test and
quizzes, because I am a strong supporter of discussions and project-based learning.
Students will not just be learning the facts of history but will also be learning how use
and apply these facts in their own future historical lives.
 I can be contacted one hour before school on my classroom phone or by email (
jana_chilton@sausdlearns.net), if you have any questions on your students’ grade.
