SYLLABUS

Academic Honesty Policy:

It is a part of your education to learn responsibility and self-discipline, particularly with regards to academic honesty. The most important issue of academic
honesty is cheating. Cheating is defined to include an attempt to defraud, deceive, or mislead the instructor in arriving at an honest grade assessment. Plagiarism is a
form of cheating that involves presenting as one’s own work the ideas or work of another.
All portions of any test, project, or final exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own work, unless you are instructed to work collaboratively. Specific
requirements will be described for collaborative projects, but all work presented must be the work of members of that group. Research materials used must be properly
cited. Cheating in a major course examination by a student will entail a failing mark of 5.0 for the given course. Cheating, dishonesty or plagiarism in papers and other
works will entail zero (0) score for the said requirement.
