Academic Conduct
|
Cheating, plagiarism (submitting
another person's materials or ideas as one's own), or doing work for another
person who will receive academic credit are all impermissible. This includes
the use of unauthorized books, notebooks, or other sources in order to
secure or give help during an examination; the unauthorized copying of
examinations, assignments, reports, or term papers; turning in a paper or
project previously used in another course; or the presentation of
unacknowledged material as if it were the student's own work. |
|
Any student caught cheating or
plagiarizing will receive a grade of "F"
for the class. Further disciplinary action may also be taken
beyond the Department of Fine Arts. This decision will be mine in
consultation with the department head. Cheating is serious
business and the penalties for engaging in this sort of activity will be
severe. Consult the following link for further information on
academic conduct as specified in your student handbook.
