You cannot be late.Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism (Effective April 15, 2002) All academic assignments are to be the work of the individual student. The following are examples of dishonesty, or unethical and unprofessional behavior: Plagiarism - Using another person?s words, ideas, or results without giving proper credit to that person, giving the impression that it is a student?s own work Any form of cheating on examinations Altering academic or clinical records Falsifying information for any assignment Partly or wholly completing an assignment for another student or submitting assignments partially or wholly completed by another student. Charges of academic dishonesty brought against a student shall be made in writing by the faculty member and submitted to the program chair or academic dean for investigation. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and may result in the following sanctions: Warning: written or verbal notice that any further misconduct may result in further disciplinary actions Failure or forfeiture: loss of all or part of the credit for work conducted in association with academic dishonesty Suspension: removal from the College for a determined period of time Dismissal: permanent removal from the college If you are going to properly use the ideas of another, you must do the following: Know the difference between paraphrasing and quoting. When paraphrasing, make sure it is not too close to the original AND credit paraphrases in the same manner you credit direct quotes. Put phrases, sentences, or paragraphs in quotation marks when copying a direct quote. Credit any source that you have used, either through paraphrasing or through direct quotes. To properly credit a source, you must identify the author, the publication title, date, publisher, place, and page number. For example: If you?re still unclear about when to attribute credit to an author, speak to your professor to help clarify this issue. Review of drafts: If a student wishes to have their writing assignments reviewed, they must submit it by midnight, Sunday at the end of each Lesson. Only one draft can be submitted. Comments on the draft will be general and will cover grammar, format, style and content. Sample responses will not be available.
