Academic Honesty: In order for an academic community to thrive, members of that community must be able to trust the honesty and sincerity of communication between members. The very integrity of a college is grounded in academic honesty. One form of academic dishonesty that can undermine this integrity is plagiarism, intentionally or unintentionally copying the words or ideas from another source without giving that source credit. Because of the serious harm plagiarism causes an academic environment, I have zero tolerance for it: students who plagiarize will automatically fail the class. Do not hesitate to consult with me if you have questions about academic honesty. (For more information, see also "Academic Dishonesty" in the Scot's Guide and appropriate chapters in Bedford.) |
