ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING Plagiarism constitutes the appropriation of another person's exact words or original thoughts or writing without extending proper credit (using in-text citations and a works cited reference list) to the original source. As such, plagiarism exists as an illegal action a type of theft that, in the business/professional world, for example, could result in severe penalties against you. You will receive a grade of zero on any assignment for which you do not do your own work or when unauthorized resources are used. In addition, the matter will be referred to the school administration for appropriate action. VIEWING MULTI-MEDIA CONTENT (Online students only) Please remember to have the Google Toolbar closed in order to view the multi-media content. Sometimes the toolbars can interfere with the audio/video content.

"Online manners" are generally known as "netiquette." As a general rule, you should adhere to GQB2015 7
the same classroom conduct that you would "off-line" in a face-to-face course. Some examples of proper netiquette are: Avoid writing messages in all capital letters. THIS IS GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD AS SHOUTING. Be careful what you put in writing. Even if you are writing a message to one person, assume that anyone could read it. Though you may send a message to a single person, it is very easy to forward your message to many other people. Grammar and spelling matter. Online courses demand the same standard of academic communication and use of grammar as face-to-face courses. Never use profanity in any area of an online course. The transcripts of online course message boards, e-mail, discussion forums, and chat sessions may be saved by the instructor and/or school administration. When responding to e-mail messages, only use "Reply to All" when you really intend to reply to all. Avoid unkindly public criticism of others. Use sarcasm cautiously. In the absence of nonverbal cues such as facial expressions and voice inflections, the context for your sarcasm may be lost, and your message may thus be misinterpreted.
