Things IDO NOT like: • Hot Dogs • Baloney • CHEATING!
What is cheating? • Referred to as “Academic Misconduct” • Comes in a wide variety of forms, techniques, definitions—see syllabus • What is “plagiarism?” • Q: Is cutting and pasting information off the Internet without citing your source considered to be plagiarism? YES!! So don’t do it!
Things we’ll do this semester… • Read • Think • Discuss • Write • Summarize • Analyze • Critique • Even learn a bit about geography… • and so much more!
Geography in a writing class? What the…? • We will be focusing on the theme of Globalization. • Through this theme, we will find PLENTY to write about, discuss, analyze, research, and explore. • Think of it as a “two-for-one” special: You’re sharpening your communication skills while increasing your geographic knowledge.
