ACADEMIC+HONESTY

Academic Honesty: Knowing how to cite the work, thoughts, and ideas of others to prevent plagiarism

Every academic school has some type of academic honesty policy regarding plagiarism and cheating. Whether deliberate or accidental, plagiarism is something that can be avoided by using best practices and ensuring student comprehension. When a student feels confident in knowing how to properly cite resources, I believe that he or she will consistency cite the sources, and cite them well. Cheating on a test or exam will not be tolerated in my classroom. Consequences for plagiarism or cheating may include, but are not limited to: - the student receiving a failing grade on the assignment, - an in-school suspension with intense instruction on the proper use of citations, - out of school suspension. For more information: Please refer to the school handbook for our cheating and plagiarism policies.
