Students who exhibit behaviours that detract from the quality of the class (e.g., regularly arriving late or leaving early, eating, talking to classmates during class, answering cell phones, obviously reading material unrelated to the class, listening to ipods) may be asked to correct their behaviour, move to another seat, or be asked to leave the classroom.

Academic Integrity It is critical to the reputation of the I. H. Asper School of Business and of our degrees, that everyone associated with our faculty behaves with the highest academic integrity. As the faculty that helps create business and government leaders, we have a special obligation to ensure that our ethical standards are beyond reproach. Any dishonesty in our academic transactions violates this trust. The University of Manitoba Undergraduate Calendar addresses the issue of academic dishonesty under the heading Plagiarism and Cheating. Specifically, acts of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to: using the exact words of a published or unpublished author without quotation marks and without referencing the source of these words duplicating a table, graph or diagram, in whole or in part, without referencing the source paraphrasing the conceptual framework, research design, interpretation, or any other ideas of another person, whether written or verbal (e.g., personal communications, ideas from a verbal presentation) without referencing the source copying the answers of another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment providing answers to another student in any test, examination, or take-home assignment taking any unauthorized materials into an examination or term test (crib notes) impersonating another student or allowing another person to impersonate oneself for the purpose of submitting academic work or writing any test or examination stealing or mutilating library materials accessing tests prior to the time and date of the sitting changing name or answer(s) on a test after that test has been graded and returned submitting the same paper or portions thereof for more than one assignment, without discussions with the instructors involved. Group Projects and Group Work Many courses in the I. H. Asper School of Business require group projects. Students should be aware that group projects are subject to the same rules regarding academic dishonesty. Because of the unique nature of group projects, all group members should exercise special care to insure that the group project does not violate the policy on Academic Integrity. Should a violation occur, group members are jointly accountable unless the violation can be attributed to a specific individual(s). Some courses, while not requiring group projects, encourage students to work together in groups (or at least do not prohibit it) before submitting individual assignments. Students are encouraged to discuss this issue as it relates to academic integrity with their instructor to avoid violating this policy. In the I. H. Asper School of Business, all suspected cases of academic dishonesty are passed to the Dean s office in order to ensure consistency of treatment. 8
