Academic Integrity

It is your responsibility to acquaint yourself with the University Policy on plagiarism, cheating, and examinations. The copying of another student’s assignment or the submission of the same material for two or more courses is plagiarism. Plagiarism and any other form of cheating in examinations, labs, or term tests are subject to serious academic penalty. The full definition of plagiarism and the possible penalties associated with it can be found in the Undergraduate Calendar. If your submitted assignment contains material you have copied from another source (e.g., parts of another person’s assignment, or from a textbook, or from the published literature, or from a website) you must give proper credit to that source.
