GUIDELINES ON ACADEMIC HONESTY

All works submitted such as homework, assignments, papers, examinations & the like are expected to be the student’s own work.

Students should always take great care to distinguish their own ideas and knowledge from information derived from sources.

The term “sources”“sources” includes not only published primary & secondary material, but also information & opinions gained directly from other people. The responsibility for learning the proper forms of citation lies with the individual student.

Quotations must be properly placed within quotation marks and must be completely acknowledged.

Whenever ideas or facts are derived from a student’s reading or research, the sources must be indicated. A student who reiterates or draws on ideas or facts used in another paper must cite that other paper as source in their own paper. A computer program written to satisfy a course requirement is, like a paper, expected to be the original work of the student submitting it. Copying a program from another student or any other source is a form of academic dishonesty, as is deriving a program substantially from the work of another. A student’s papers and other works are expected to be submitted to only one course. If the same or similar work is to be submitted to any other course, the prior written permission of the instructor must be obtained. If the same or similar work is to be submitted to more than one course during the same term, the prior written permission of the instructors involved must be obtained.
