IELTS Reading true/False/Not Given
This document provides an overview of the IELTS True/False/Not Given question type. It explains that in this question type, test takers are presented with statements and must determine if they are true based on the passage, false, or if the information is not given in the passage. The document outlines some of the challenges of this question type and provides tips on how to carefully analyze statements and match meanings rather than just keywords to determine the correct answers. An example question is also included to demonstrate the techniques.
How Do I Know if I'm Plagiarizing?
Although plagiarism sometimes consists of a simple copy-and-paste of someone else's words, it is often much subtler than that. Here are eight ways plagiarism can sneak into your writing (even when you don't intend it to).
College writing
This document provides guidance on writing expectations for college compared to high school. It emphasizes that college writing requires analyzing facts and drawing conclusions rather than just restating facts. Students should formulate a clear, unified thesis with one main idea rather than a list of disconnected points. Strong thesis statements make an argument by tying multiple ideas together rather than presenting a random list. College writing also involves interrogating one's own arguments and assumptions rather than simply listing out points. The five-paragraph essay format is considered too rigid and repetitive for college-level writing, as it lacks a clear argument and flow between paragraphs.
Comma Rule 2
This handy rule will help you punctuate sentences with and, but, and other coordinating conjunctions.
Blended Week 2
The document provides guidance on using keywords and synonyms for research. It defines keywords as the main words of a topic used for searching. Students are instructed to brainstorm keywords for their topic and create a word cloud to visualize the main terms. Synonyms are defined as different words that mean the same thing. Students are told synonyms are important for searching because keywords may not always work and to use a thesaurus to come up with alternative terms for their topic. The document emphasizes experimenting with keywords and synonyms and paying attention to search results.
Comma Rule 1
The document discusses Comma Rule 1, which states that a comma should be used when a sentence begins with an extra idea, not a subject. An extra idea is something that is incomplete and does not start with a person, place or thing. The rule is explained through examples of sentences with and without leading extra ideas. Readers are prompted to identify which sentences in examples need commas based on this rule.
e0403
The document discusses rules for proper pronoun usage. It explains that pronouns can be subject, object, or possessive case. It provides examples of how to determine whether a pronoun should be subjective or objective case based on its use in a sentence, including after verbs like "to be" or in sentences with multiple clauses. It also covers possessive pronouns and reflexive pronouns.

Understanding a Constructivist
Prior to beginning this assignment, please review all the required readings, videos, and any relevant Instructor Guidance. It is suggested that you review the recommended resources for this week as a number of them may assist you in creating this written assignment with links to applicable articles.
Please note that for many of you, this might be the first time to write a paper about someone you have no current information about. Thus, it is very important that you know how to synthesize information so that it is your work, and not accidentally someone else’s. One suggestion as you begin to read about one of the researchers is to just jot down notes about them as you read. Be careful not to copy paste information into a document with intentions of re-writing it. Sometimes areas get forgotten and when your writing matches other sources, it can negatively affect not only your grade, but also your entire academic journey, so please heed this advice and ask for assistance from your instructor if you need it. Thus, we have included a link to a guide that could be very assistive in your success.
Over the past weeks, you have been introduced to Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism in relationship to learning psychology. To further expand your knowledge and understanding of Constructivism and its theoretical components/principles, in this paper you will research and write about one of the prominent constructivists listed below:

Understanding a Constructivist
Prior to beginning this assignment, please review all the required readings, videos, and any relevant Instructor Guidance. It is suggested that you review the recommended resources for this week as a number of them may assist you in creating this written assignment with links to applicable articles.
Please note that for many of you, this might be the first time to write a paper about someone you have no current information about. Thus, it is very important that you know how to synthesize information so that it is your work, and not accidentally someone else’s. One suggestion as you begin to read about one of the researchers is to just jot down notes about them as you read. Be careful not to copy paste information into a document with intentions of re-writing it. Sometimes areas get forgotten and when your writing matches other sources, it can negatively affect not only your grade, but also your entire academic journey, so please heed this advice and ask for assistance from your instructor if you need it. Thus, we have included a link to a guide that could be very assistive in your success.
Over the past weeks, you have been introduced to Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism in relationship to learning psychology. To further expand your knowledge and understanding of Constructivism and its theoretical components/principles, in this paper you will research and write about one of the prominent constructivists listed below:
