Academic Honesty Procedures have been established by Georgia Perimeter College to insure due process in cases of cheating and plagiarism. A copy of these procedures can be found in the Student Handbook. Cheating of any kind may result in penalty ranging from a grade of zero for the work in question to a grade of F in the course and may be referred to the College Court for assignment of penalty which may include suspension from the college. Unless specifically authorized by the instructor, the following are the examples of cheating and plagiarism. This is not an exhaustive list.
Students develop their reading comprehension skills by reading the text and handout materials.
Students develop their listening skills through lecture and small group problem solving. Lecture material is presented that is not included in the text or handout material and is included as part of the exams or tests. Students develop their reading and writing skills through the use of problems and activities developed specifically to enhance their understanding of certain chemistry principles. Students provide written or oral solutions to these problems in both individual and group and group format. They also deal with short answer type questions on course exams.
