Academic Honesty
Academic integrity is violated by plagiarism and cheating, which are considered major offenses
in the field. Plagiarism, broadly speaking, is the act of submitting someone else’s work—from
books to articles to websites, classmates’ assignments to unique work turned in for a different
course—as one’s own without giving credit to the real author.
Giving or attempting to give knowledge or assistance to other student during a test or on any
assignment the instructor assigns is simply known as cheating. Cheating occurs when the
identical assignment is turned in to two different classes without the instructor’s consent
beforehand. Always consult a citation!
The following consequences for plagiarism and cheating are possible:
a) a F on the particular assignment or exam;
b) a F in the course;
c) suspension or expulsion from the university.
