Academic Dishonesty Policy
All forms of academic dishonesty, including cheating on test, plagiarism, collusion and falsification of information, will automatically call for discipline.
(1) Cheating on tests is defines to include:
A. Copying from another student’s test paper.
B. Using material during a test not authorized by the person giving the test.
C. Collaborating with any other person during a test without permission.
D. Knowingly obtaining, using, buying, selling, transporting or soliciting in whole or in part the contents of an unadministered test.
E. Bribing any other person to obtain tests or information about tests.
(2) “Plagiarism” is defined as the appropriation of any other person’s work and the unacknowledged incorporation of that work in one’s own work offered for credit.
(3)”Collusion” means that unauthorized collaboration with any other person in preparing work offered for credit.
It is unreasonable to expect a complete definition that would cover al cases because each situation is important enough to merit careful, individual scrutiny; however, it is helpful to have guidelines and precedents. Here are some examples that are clearly cheating.
Examples of Cheating:
Turning in someone else’s work, in whole or in part, as your own (with or without his/her knowledge).Turning in a completely duplicated assignment is a flagrant offence.Allowing another student to turn in your work as his/her own.Several people writing one assignment and turning in multiple copies, al represented (implicitly or explicitly) as individual work.Stealing an examination or solution from the instructor. The instructor has the option of dealing with an offense in one of two ways:
(1) Giving a “0” for that particular assignment.
(2) Assigning a grade of F or WF for the course.
