Honor Code Reference: | "A Culture of Honesty" is the University of Georgia's policy about academic honesty. Every student who enrolls at the University agrees to be bound by the policy. This means that each student has a responsibility to read the policy and comply with it. It’s no defense to a charge of academic dishonesty to say "I didn’t know that was prohibited." Students must perform all of their academic work without plagiarizing, cheating, lying, tampering, stealing, receiving assistance from others (unless the faculty member authorizes that assistance) or using sources to assist in that work (without giving fair attribution). [Source: “A Culture of Honesty at the University of Georgia.” A pamphlet published by the UGA Office of the Vice President for Instruction].
We appreciate the fact that honesty runs rampant in our classes. We strive to have a culture of complete academic honesty. Thus, the University’s Academic Honesty Policy is in effect. However, violations have actually occurred. If an alleged incident occurs, the situation will immediately be documented and sent to the Office of the Vice President for Instruction for processing, and your grade in this course will be an NR (Not Reported) until the matter has run through due process. Officials in that Office will directly contact all parties involved. If you have any questions, refer to the University’s Academic Honesty Guidelines in University of Georgia publications for more details on the rules and procedures (also at www.uga.edu/ovpi). Again, we do appreciate your honesty.
Further Explanation of the Academic Honesty Policy: We do want to point out that the Academic Honesty Policy does not apply to helping someone understand basic concepts, explaining to someone the interpretation of an assignment, or clarifying how to use software. Please help each other, unless you are taking an exam or quiz. This can save valuable time and aggravation (trust us), and really reinforce your learning. The policy applies to materials turned in for grading (quizzes, exams, assignments, programs, etc.). Homework assignments, quizzes and exams are individual effort. Each assignment is supposed to represent your work, not someone else's. Of course you may discuss the assignments with others in the course, this can be beneficial to all. Getting help to learn how to do something in Visual Basic is very different from using someone else's work as the basis for your own work. Make sure, however, that in the end you do your own assignments. You are not allowed to copy material from others or integrate data files or code written by others into your work (except as provided by or indicated by the Instructor). Of course, quizzes and exams are always to be individual efforts, and no
consultation or communication of any kind is allowed during exams and quizzes. All evidence of duplicated work will immediately be forwarded to the Office of the Vice President for Instruction (see above). Refer to the University’s
Academic Honesty Guidelines in University of Georgia publications for more details on the rules and procedures (also at www.uga.edu/ovpi). See the Exam and Quiz Procedures under Grading and Grade Posting Policies. If you have any questions, just ask.
Academic Honesty and Group Work Policy: Please note that if a group member does not participate in a group assignment, the University's Academic Honesty Policy prohibits his or her name from appearing on it.
Individual Work: It is expected that students will learn from the Instructor, texts, other books, and possibly from fellow students. All materials submitted for a grade must be the student's own effort (except for group assignments, if any). (For group assignments, materials submitted for a grade must be from the efforts of the students who are members of the group and no others.) Assignments in this category are to be accomplished individually. This means that you are not to solve problems together or compare answers prior to turning in the work. Cooperative efforts on individual work will result in an immediate score of zero for all parties involved. The situation will immediately be forwarded to the Office of the Vice President for Instruction. Please refer to the University's Academic Honesty Policy (http://www.uga.edu/ovpi) for more details.
Exam and Quiz Procedures: A list of procedures are stated formally to indicate what kinds of incidents can be suspect in terms of alleged infractions of The University Academic Honesty Policy during testing.
Do not talk or share materials during an exam or quiz. Do not wear a baseball cap during an exam or quiz. Do use the restroom before you start an exam or quiz. Trips to the restroom can be suspect. Do not use email during an exam or quiz (see policy stated elsewhere as well). Do not leave an exam or quiz early. Wait until time is called. |
