The submission of work without references, footnotes, or acknowledgements and which is not the independent work of the student submitting the work is plagiarism and is one form of academic dishonesty. Work that is copied directly must be enclosed in quotation marks and the source documented by giving the author, title, page, and date of the source. Materials that have had a strong influence on the work but that have not been copied directly must be referenced with a footnote or endnote that documents the source of the material. The forms of acknowledgement described above is to be used for conversations. Students who allow their work to be copied are as guilty of academic dishonesty as those who copy.
Labs are an opportunity for students to obtain practical experience.
It is expected that the work in the lab is performed by members of the group or individuals that are assigned to the lab. Students may obtain help from the TA's assigned to the lab, the technician responsible for the lab, or the instructor. Procuring or accepting help in performing the lab from others will be considered academic dishonesty. This interpretation treats labs similar to tests or exams where the work submitted is expected to be the work of the student.
