Include a statement in the course syllabus regarding academic honesty as it relates to that particular class. For the consequences of academic dishonesty, refer to the Schedule of Classes published quarterly. Violations will be taken seriously and are noted on student disciplinary records. If you are in doubt regarding the requirements, please consult with the instructor before you complete any requirement of the course. Discuss the issue of cheating, academic misconduct, fabrication, and plagiarism at the beginning of each quarter and before examinations.
International students bring diverse learning styles to the classroom.
It is particularly important that instructors clarify plagiarism issues, as understood in this country, for these students. Any student for whom English is a second language may also need special help in understanding plagiarism issues. Give essay tests, instead of multiple choice tests, when appropriate and class size permits. More than one proctor should be present if more than forty students are taking a written exam. Prior to the exam, instruct proctors about their responsibilities during exams.
