Academic Integrity Defined
How to Avoid Academic Misconduct
Know your rights. Do not let other students in your class diminish the value of your achievement by taking unfair advantage. Report any academic dishonesty you see.
Acknowledge your sources. Whenever you use words or ideas that are not your own when writing a paper, use quotation marks where appropriate, cite your source in a footnote, and back it up at the end with a list of sources consulted.
Protect your work. In examinations, do not allow your neighbors to see what you have written; you are the only one who should receive full credit for what you know.
Avoid suspicion. Do not put yourself in a position where you can be suspected of having copied another person’s work or of having unauthorized notes in an examination. Even the appearance of dishonesty may undermine your instructor’s confidence in your work.
Do your own work. The purpose of an assignment is to develop your skills and measure your progress.
Never falsify a record or permit another person to do so. If proven that you were party to this action, you may face suspension or expulsion.
Never fabricate data, citations, or experimental results.
Always tell the truth when discussing your work with your professor.
