• All vocabulary work must be completed individually. Copying another student's vocabulary work
or giving your vocabulary work to another student to copy is considered cheating.
Students caught cheating will be referred to the Dean of Students and will receive a score of 0 in
Progress Book until the issue is resolved by the Academic Dishonesty Committee.

all of your words and definitions. You merely need to go to the website, search for her lists, and then use the
website. You can print ready-made flashcards, play games, and take practice tests on the website.
