Academic Honesty: CHEATING WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Be aware that cheating comes in many different forms. Please refer to the University catalog if you are unsure about what is considered academic dishonesty and what the consequences are for committing academic dishonesty. The following list is not exhaustive of the possibilities, but will give you a general idea of what NOT to do in any of your classes:

1. Copying from somebody else's quiz or exam is cheating.
2. Allowing somebody to copy from your quiz or exam is cheating.
3. Having somebody else write your presentation is cheating.
4. Copying directly from books, articles, or other outside sources without giving the author credit and claiming that the work is your own is cheating (this is called plagiarism).
5. Downloading papers from the internet and submitting them as your own is cheating (plagiarism).
6. Having somebody else complete your assignments is cheating.
7. Collaborating on quizzes and tests is cheating.
8. Using your book during closed-book assignments is cheating.

The consequences for academic dishonesty are severe. You can be expelled for any of the above behavior.
