Texas has a new standard
for history teachers—and others—to use to help college students: personal
responsibility. Following the 5 Good Habits for Evidence is certainly a matter
of personal responsibility, especially since not following some of these 5 Good
Habits for Evidence can be a form of cheating.
You may or may not
already know these 5 habits, but you are the only one who can make this happen
in your written assignments. By submitting this form, you are confirming that
you recognize this responsibility. If you need help, contact your instructor.
(I will be glad to help you.)
