I really hate it when students skip class to type a paper. I would rather have you turn the paper in at the end of the day than miss class. If you have any condition, such as a physical or mental disability, which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work as I have outlined it or which will require extra time on examinations, please notify me in the first two weeks of the course so that we may make appropriate arrangements. I take academic integrity very seriously. Academic dishonesty is an insult to the vast majority of students who work hard to earn their grade, as well as to the instructor who trusts students to perform to their highest ability.
Plagiarism is the copying of another s words without proper citation.
A general rule of thumb is, when in doubt, cite . Even if you rephrase the words, if the idea is someone else s, you must give credit to that person. Cheating on a test or plagiarism on an assignment will result in an automatic zero for that test or assignment. There will be no recourse to extra-credit work to compensate for your failure if caught cheating or plagiarizing. Of course, you do have recourse to grievance procedures if you feel unjustly accused.
