Academic Integrity

This course will be conducted in full accordance with the university's "Policy on Academic Integrity." Academic dishonesty includes (but is not limited to) such behavior as quoting or paraphrasing without attribution; submitting work for more than one course without the instructor's permission; copying from, or assisting, other students on exams; plagiarizing major portions of assignments; using a purchased paper; presenting other's work as your own; altering a graded exam; theft of exams.

We will not accept any exams, assignments, or papers from student involved in dishonest behavior, and we will report such students to their college dean. Because grades in this course will be based on a curve, students engaging in dishonest behavior hurt all students in the course. As the Policy on Academic Integrity states: "Students are responsible for knowing what the standards [for academic integrity] are and for adhering to them. Students should also bring any violations of which they are aware to the attention of their instructors."
