Academic dishonesty
is not limited to simply cheating on an exam or assignment. The following
is quoted directly from the "PSU Faculty Senate Policies for Students"
regarding academic integrity and academic dishonesty: "Academic integrity
is the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception and
is an educational objective of this institution. Academic dishonesty includes,
but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarizing, fabricating of information
or citations, facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others, having
unauthorized possession of examinations, submitting work of another person
or work previously used without informing the instructor, or tampering
with the academic work of other students." All University and Eberly College
of Science policies regarding academic integrity/academic dishonesty apply
to this course and the students enrolled in this course. Refer to the following
URL for further details on the academic integrity policies of the Eberly
College of Science: http://www.science.psu.edu/academic/Integrity/index.html.
Each student in this course is expected to work entirely on her/his own
while taking any exam, to complete assignments on her/his own effort without
the assistance of others unless directed otherwise by the instructor, and
to abide by University and Eberly College of Science policies about academic
integrity and academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty can result in assignment
of "F" by the course instructors or "XF" by Judicial Affairs as the final
grade for the student.
Statement
4 (used in a course that only has exams):
In an examination
setting, unless the instructor gives explicit prior instructions to the
contrary, violations of academic integrity shall consist of any attempt
to receive assistance from written or printed aids, from any person or
papers or electronic devices, or of any attempt to give assistance, whether
the student doing so has completed his or her own work or not. Other violations
include, but are not limited to, any attempt to gain an unfair advantage
in regard to an examination, such as tampering with a graded exam or claiming
another's work to be one's own. Failure to comply will lead to sanctions
against the student in accordance with the Policy
on Academic Dishonesty in the Eberly College of Science.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY STATEMENT
Mathematics Department
"Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarizing,
. . .
facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others, having unauthorized
prior
possession of examinations, submitting work of another person or work
previously
used without informing the instructors, or tampering with the academic
work of
other students . . . . A student charged with academic dishonesty
will be given
oral or written notice of the charge by the instructor. If students
believe they
have been falsely accused, they should seek redress through informal
discussions
with the instructor, department head, dean or campus executive officer.
If the
instructor believes that the infraction is sufficiently serious to
warrant the
referral of the case to Judicial Affairs, or if the instructor will
award a final
grade of F in the course because of the infraction, the student and
instructor will
be afforded formal due process."
