Am I my brother's keeper?
A saying from the Bible's story of Cain and Abel. After Cain had murdered his brother Abel, God asked him where his brother was. Cain answered, “I know not; am I my brother's keeper?”
Cain's words have come to symbolize people's unwillingness to accept responsibility for the welfare of their fellows — their “brothers” in the extended sense of the term. The tradition of Judaism and Christianity is that people do have this responsibility.

What is Plagiarism?
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work as if it were your own, whether you mean to or not.
‘Someone else’s work’ means anything that is not your own idea. Even if it is presented in your own style, you must still acknowledge your sources fully and appropriately. This includes:
- material from books, journals or any other printed source
- the work of other students or staff
- information from the Internet
- software programs and other electronic material
- designs and ideas
- the organisation or structuring of any such material.
Plagiarism undermines academic integrity simply because it is a form of lying, stealing and mistreating others. Plagiarism involves stealing other people’s intellectual property and lying about whose work it is.

Announcement - Chem Engg 32 (Industrial Stoichiometry) 1st Sem SY2008-09
As much as I would like to accommodate the requests for "prerogrative enlistment", I regret to inform students that UP policies need to be observed. Please proceed to the Chemical Engineering Department and ask Ate Pam for other open sections (a new one was created and as of June 5 2008, 25 slots are still available). Once this section (and others) are full, I may consider accepting "prerogs".
