Academic Dishonesty includes but is not limited to:
- Copying another student's work, including electronic and visual mediums
- Providing homework to another student
- Copying an author's work without citation
- Submitting copied information from the Internet
- If instructed to work independently, working in pairs or groups
- Disclosing test-related material
- Recycling previous work
- Using or possessing "crib" or "cheat" notes, or accessing the text when not permitted
- Participating in or contributing to the academic dishonesty of another student
- Dishonest actions reported by the teacher
PLAGIARISM, which is copying work from another source and submitting it as one's own work, includes, but is not limited to:
- Copying another student's work or previously published material or ideas from any source and submitting them as one's own.
- Allowing a student to copy one's work
- Intentionally or inadvertently leaving available your written work in a place that makes it possible for someone to copy, sending it electronically to someone, or lending someone a notebook, a paper, or disk that contains your written work
- Altering words or the order of words from another source and submitting them as one's own
- Submitting work written by college students, former students, tutors, friends, or other adults as one's own
- Submitting work as one's own that was produced by unauthorized collaboration on assignments designed to be completed independently (*see note below)
Note:
Students are encouraged to discuss their responses to assigned works with peers. Meaningful discussion often leads to deeper insight and helps students make personnel connections with subject matter. All written work produced as a result of these discussions and shared inquiries, however, must be generated independently. Students must not write assignments together or share work written by one student unless it is authorized for the group to submit one paper as a group.
