PLAGIARISM AND CHEATING

Plagiarism is the use of another individual’s words, phrases, sentences, or ideas (whether taken word for word, in summary form, or as a paraphrase), without giving credit to the source from which they come (without proper documentation). This also includes handing in another student’s writing (original or researched) as your own. The first offense of willful plagiarism or cheating (verified by the instructor) will result in a grade of “F”(0 value) for the specific assignment. Second offenses are grounds for suspension from the class with a grade “F”. All instances of plagiarism and other forms of cheating will be referred to the appropriate Department Chair and the Division Dean. Research papers from other courses will not be accepted in this course.

 Students are expected to turn-off all cell phones, pagers, and other electronic devices before entering the classroom, and keep them in their purses, pockets or belt/pocket sheaths.  They are to be kept “out of sight” in order to avoid causing a disruption.  An exception to this stipulation will be considered only in an emergency situation.  In these cases, the student must verify the need to the instructor prior to the beginning of class and must renew this exception on a class-by-class basis.  Violators will be asked to leave the classroom for the remainder of the class that day.
