In case you don t have a computer at home. 9. CHEATING POLICY: Students are expected to uphold the school s standard of conduct relating to academic honesty. Students assume full responsibility for the content and integrity of the academic work they submit. The guiding principle of academic integrity shall be that a student s submitted work, examinations, reports, and homework must be the student s own work. Students shall be guilty of violating the honor code if they: 1. Present the work of others as their own (copy and/or print files that belong to another student in this class or other class, lend your storage device to another student, copy answers on exams or glance at nearby exams). 2. Use or obtain unauthorized assistance in any academic work. 3. Give unauthorized assistance to other students. 4. Misrepresent the content of submitted work. 5. Turn in assignments that have been used in other classes 6. Borrow, purchase, or sell assignments or exam materials Any student violating the honor code is subject to receive a failing grade for the course and will be reported to the Dean of Students. If a student is unclear about whether a particular situation may constitute an honor code violation, the student should meet with the instructor to discuss the situation. For this class, it is permissible to assist classmates in general discussions, general advice. Interaction is encouraged. Each person, however, must develop his or her own solutions to the assignments and homework. In other words, students may not work together on graded assignments. Such collaboration constitutes cheating. A student may not use or copy (by any means) another s work (or portions of it) and represent it as his/her own. You will be penalized in the same way, if your work is used by other student. If you cheat, some or all of the following actions will be taken: o You will receive a zero for that particular assignment or exam. o A report of the incident may be forwarded to the Business and Information Technology Department s Chair. o A report of the incident may be forwarded to the Dean of Student Services. The Dean may file the report in your permanent record and/or take further disciplinary action. 12
