Academic Honesty on any assignment is expected in this class. Failure to do so will result in a zero grade for all students involved. It is your responsibility to protect your own work. At no time may any work be submitted that is similar to any one else’s. This includes lab questions and lab procedures, questions, and problems from texts, computers, or any other source. Tutors may monitor the format but not influence content or technical analysis.

Academic Honesty: Each student is responsible for producing his or her own work and will be held responsible for protecting and maintaining the confidentiality of his or her own work.

This definition is based on the performance standard for responsible citizen from the common denominator.

Cheating can include, but is not limited to

• The use of unauthorized notes during a test or quiz
• Using another student’s work during a test or quiz
• Allowing another student to see one’s answers during a test or quiz
• Giving information to students who have not taken the test
• Allowing students who have not yet taken the test to receive information
• Using another student’s homework
• Allowing another student to copy one’s work
• Plagiarizing by copying another person’s work from any resource (periodical. Book, internet, etc.) and submit it as one’s own
• Plagiarizing by paraphrasing or using parts of another person’s work (ideas, written work, diagrams, charts, etc.) without citing it as a resource in context or in a footnote.

Cheating consequences include loss of credit and notification to the guidance counselor. Eligibility for National Honor Society, scholarships, and honors can also be lost.

I have read the policy on Academic Honesty and understand its content. I also understand the consequences for unethical decisions on assignments.
