At the graduate level students are expected to be more creative and to think clearly. Work that mimics what others has done is not as well accepted as work that shows your own efforts. If you have to be absent, please let the instructor know in advance. An informational brochure about academic integrity is available from the university and students are encouraged to obtain a copy. Additional information is contained in the NCSU Code of Student Conduct.
Scholarly activity is marked by honesty, fairness and rigor.
A scholar does not take credit for the work of others, does not take unfair advantage of others, and does not perform acts which frustrate the scholarly efforts of others. The violation of any of these principles is academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty includes the giving, taking, or presenting of information or material by a student with the intent of unethically or fraudulently aiding oneself or another person on any work which is to be considered in the determination of a grade or the completion of academic requirements. It is university policy that all students sign the Honor Pledge on tests and assignments for each course as specified by the instructor. But on the nights we do microteaching, power cords and other equipment associated with microteaching will be in the classroom.
