Academic Honesty:  Students are expected to conduct themselves 
in accordance with the University Academic Honesty Policy at 
all times. Strict adherence to the policy as outlined in "A
Culture of Honesty: Policies and Procedures on Academic Honesty" 
(www.uga.edu/ovpi) is expected and required. During examinations 
or quizzes, any form of assistance is unauthorized unless 
specifically approved by the instructor. Any form of assistance 
on class assignments outlined in Section 5, Part 2b of the 
University's Academic Honesty Policy is unauthorized unless 
specifically approved by the instructor. Violations of the 
policy will be vigorously pursued and prosecuted.  

Please note -- All students are responsible for maintaining the 
highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of 
their academic careers. The penalties for academic dishonesty 
are severe
(http://www.uga.edu/ovpi/academic_honesty/hon_penalties.htm) 
and ignorance is not an acceptable defense.

In addition, I will require all students to sign the following 
statement on all graded work: UGA Student Honor Code: "I will 
be academically honest in all of my academic work and will not 
tolerate academic dishonesty of others."  I will not grade work 
that is not signed.
