If you have an important reason for needing to leave class early, please notify the instructor beforehand. It is especially important that you be present on exam days. Disruption of the learning environment will result in loss of participation points or other disciplinary action. Thus it should be clearly understood that acts of plagiarism or any other forms of cheating will not be tolerated and that anyone committing such acts risks punishment of a serious nature. Plagiarism - To represent written work taken from another source as one's own is plagiarism.
Plagiarism is a serious offense.
To lift content directly from a source without giving credit is a flagrant act. To present a borrowed passage without reference to the source after having changed a few words is also plagiarism. Cheating - No student shall give or receive assistance not authorized by the instructor in taking an examination or in the preparation of any essay, laboratory report, problem assignment, or other project which is submitted for purposes of grade determination. The above schedule, requirements, and policies are subject to change due to extenuating circumstances. May 25, 2000.
