Academic Honesty
The Baskin School of Engineering has a zero tolerance
policy for any incident of academic dishonesty. If cheating occurs,
consequences within the context of the course may range from getting
zero on a particular assignment, to failing the course. In addition,
every case of academic dishonesty is referred to the students college
Provost, who sets in motion an official disciplinary process. Cheating
in any part of the course may lead to failing the course and
suspension or dismissal from the university.
What is cheating? In short, it is presenting someone else s work as
your own. Examples would include copying another student's written
homework assignment or exam, or allowing your own work to be
copied. Although you may discuss homework problems with fellow
students, your collaboration must be at the level of ideas
only. Legitimate collaboration ends when you "lend", "borrow", or
"trade" written solutions to problems, or in any way share in the act
of writing your answers. If you do collaborate (legitimately) or
receive help from anyone, you must credit them by placing their
name(s) at the top of your paper.
