All students in this course are expected to adhere to University standards of academic
integrity. Cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation, and other forms of academic dishonesty

be accepted as an excuse. If you are not sure whether something you plan to submit would
be considered either cheating or plagiarism, it is your responsibility to ask for clarification.
