Your agreement is required upon registration for the workshop. By agreeing to the Terms and Conditions for the workshop, you agree to uphold the following guidelines.
These guidelines are intended to create mutual trust and integrity to cultivate an excellent learning environment.
- Always treat fellow participants and your tutor with respect and courtesy.
- Appropriate language and behaviour is expected at all times.
- Arrive on time, having done your assignment.
- While the class is in session, please do not use the chat box for distracting conversation. Chat box text should pertain to the discussion at hand.
- Parents and students should be aware of Internet dangers and concerns. Please be mindful of the need for good security and wise Internet use. When in the classroom, do not surf the net. Do not refer other students to outside websites. Instant messaging/private messaging is not allowed during class time.
- Do not give other students’ email addresses out to anyone. With parental permission, students are allowed to share their own emails with other students at an appropriate time specified by your tutor.
- Every paper or report submitted must be the student’s own work. Wording should be the student’s own. Quotes from lectures, Internet sources, books, articles, and other writers’ phrases or sentences must be “sourced” or stated. Plagiarism is a serious offense; it is the student’s responsibility to be aware of what plagiarism is and to avoid it. If a student plagiarizes, they will be given a single warning and will need to meet certain requirements given by the tutor (e.g. submitting work in progress, etc.). A second instance of plagiarism will result in the student being removed from the workshop.
- Assignments must be remitted on time. A tutor reserves the right to not grade a late assignment unless the student has received prior authorization from the tutor for a deadline extension.
- Content should be of a quality that does not glorify violence, gore, the occult (including possession and spells), or any imagery or presentation that diminishes the dignity of the human person. Good writing does not rely on explicit depictions of tasteless or immoral content. In striving to imitate the great classical writers, students will strive toward high standards and wholesomeness.
- Improper language, swearing, or words that insult human dignity will not be accepted in any WISDOM writing workshop.
- Students will be required to follow specific formatting requirements for their assignments as detailed by the tutor.
- Tutors may refuse evaluation, grading, or guidance when presented with writing that does not meet WISDOM criteria.
- If you have any concerns regarding behaviour in the workshop, please contact Nicole Noster at: 780-549-4008 or email: nicole@wisdomhomeschooling.com.
- Students who do not comply will be given one warning by the tutor and will be given opportunity to correct their behaviour. Second infractions can result in the student being asked to leave the workshop.
