On Academic Integrity
The English department expects that you will act ethically, respectfully and honestly in all of your work. Cheating, as defined in the DHS handbook, is “participation in any activity in which a student knowingly misrepresents his/her actual achievement in the course.” Any student who violates the code of academic integrity that is part of this classroom (including but not limited to copying answers, cheating on tests, plagiarizing papers, receiving un-credited “help”) will be referred for disciplinary action. A student in violation will lose credit for the assignment in question, and he or she may lose credit for the course.
Put simply, if you turn in any work that is not entirely your own, it is plagiarism, and will be treated as such.
