Academic Code of Honor. Sec. IV.B

 

1. All work submitted for credit, including exams, is accepted as a student's own work, unless otherwise understood and approved by the instructor.

2. Students may not, without proper citation and approval of the instructor, submit work that has been copied, wholly or partially, from another student's paper, notebook, or exam. Nor may students without proper citation submit work which has been copied, wholly or partially, from a book, article, essay, newspaper, the internet or any other written or printed or media source whether or not the material in question is copyrighted.

3. Written work that paraphrases any written or printed media material without acknowledgment may not be submitted for credit. Ideas from books and essays may be incorporated in students' work as starting points, governing issues, illustrations, and the like, but in each case the source must be cited.

4. Any on-line materials students use to gather information for a paper are also governed by rules about plagiarism, so  students need to cite electronic sources as well as printed and other sources.

5. A student may not turn in the same work for two or more different classes/courses he or she is taking in an academic term unless each professor involved has authorized students to do so in advance.

6. Students may not submit for credit any work that has been used to fulfill the requirements of another course previously taken at this or any other school without obtaining permission of the current professor in advance.

7. Students must be aware that honor code violations are not limited to the actions prohibited in the guidelines above. Any kind of dishonesty related to academics is a violation. Other examples of academic dishonesty, apart from giving or receiving unauthorized aid as described by the instructor in each course, include but are not limited to listing false reasons for taking a make-up examination, falsifying data and failing to take responsible action as required in section IV.D.
