Academic Integrity & Cheating Policy We value academic integrity very highly and do not permit any form of dishonesty or deception that unfairly, improperly or illegally enhances the grade on an individual or group assignment or a final grade. The following is a list of forms of cheating, plagiarism and other forms of dishonesty. If you have any doubt as to whether a particular act constitutes academic dishonesty, ask your teacher before you do it!Academic Dishonesty includes, but is not limited to: Cheating on exams by copying from others, having or using notes, formulas, or other information in a programmable calculator or other programmable device; having or using a communication device such as a cell phone, pager, PDA or electronic translator to send or receive unauthorized information; having or using a cheat sheet; altering a graded exam and re-submitting it for a high grade; working together on a take home exam unless approved by the teacher; gaining or providing unauthorized access to the examination materials. Plagiarism by copying part or all of another person’s work and submitting it as your own; acting as a provider of a paper or papers for others; submitting substantial portions of the same work in more than one class without consulting with the teachers; failing to use quotation marks where appropriate; failing to properly cite paraphrased materials with footnotes or a bibliography; making up data for an experiment; citing non-existent sources; giving or getting improper assistance on an assignment meant to be individual work; using the services of a commercial term paper company; using the services of another student. Note: Attempted cheating, even when unsuccessful, will be treated as academic dishonesty. Simply having observable possession of any prohibited or unauthorized information or device during an exam, even if it is not used, is an act of academic dishonesty. It will be dealt with as such. Students who violate the Academic Integrity and Cheating Policy may receive a failing grade on the assignment and have the course grade dropped one letter grade. Second offenses may result in a failing grade for the class. |
