University
Policies:
Academic
integrity
is
a
responsibility
of
all
university
faculty
and
students.
Faculty
members
promote
academic
integrity
in
multiple
ways
including
instruction
on
the
components
of
academic
honesty,
as
well
as
abiding
by
university
policy
on
penalties
for
cheating
and
plagiarism.
Definition
of
Academic
Dishonesty
Academic
dishonesty
includes
both
cheating
and
plagiarism.
Cheating
includes
but
is
not
limited
to
(1)
using
or
attempting
to
use
unauthorized
materials
to
aid
in
achieving
a
better
grade
on
a
component
of
a
class;
(2)
the
falsification
or
invention
of
any
information,
including
citations,
on
an
assigned
exercise;
and/or
(3)
helping
or
attempting
to
help
another

an
act
of
cheating
or
plagiarism.
Plagiarism
is
presenting
the
words
or
ideas
of
another
person
as
if
they
were
your
own.
Examples
of
plagiarism
are
(1)
submitting
an
assignment
as
if
it
were
one's
own
work
when,
in
fact,
it
is
at
least
partly
the
work
of
another;
(2)
submitting
a
work
that
has
been
purchased
or
otherwise
obtained
from
an
Internet

or
another

words

ideas
of

one's
paper
without
giving
the
author
due
credit.
