Required Academic Integrity Statement: (Texas A&M University Policy Statement)

Academic Integrity Statement
All syllabi shall contain a section that states the Aggie Honor Code and refers the student to the Honor
Council Rules and Procedures on the web.
Aggie Honor Code
"An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do."
Upon accepting admission to Texas A&M University, a student immediately assumes a commitment to
uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning and to follow the philosophy and rules of the
Honor System. Students will be required to state their commitment on examinations, research papers, and
other academic work. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the Texas A&M University
community from the requirements or the processes of the Honor System. For additional information please
visit: www.tamu.edu/aggiehonor/
On all course work, assignments, and examinations at Texas A&M University, the following Honor Pledge
shall be preprinted and signed by the student:
"On my honor, as an Aggie, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work."

Aggie Code of Honor:

An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do.

Petroleum Engineering 612 — Unconventional Oil And Gas

Reading Portfolio — Review Format and Instructions
Due: Monday 10 December 2018 [by 5:00 p.m. (i.e., 16:59:59 US CST)]
(http://registrar.tamu.edu/Courses,-Registration,-Scheduling/Final-Examination-Schedules#5-December10(Monday))
Reading Portfolio: Orientation
Based on the "Reading Portfolio Inventory" given on the next page, you are to create a "Reading Portfolio." The Reading Portfolio is
assigned as follows:
● Due date: Monday 10 December 2018 [by 5:00 p.m. (i.e., 16:59:59 US CST)]
● Submission: Submit as a SINGLE .pdf file named: P612_18C_Module_3_YOURLASTNAME.pdf
● Recipient: Send to [email protected]
It is suggested that the student create an MS Word document as the working document for their Reading Portfolio — however; ONLY a
single .pdf file will be accepted as the Reading Portfolio submission. Students ARE permitted to communicate — HOWEVER, students
are not permitted to submit shared or copied work. Shared or copied work will result in a zero (0) score for the Reading Portfolio
assignment.
Failure to submit the Reading Portfolio will result a zero (0) score for this portion of the student's grade.
