Academic Integrity Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly ac!vity free from fraud and decep!on and is an educa!onal objec!ve of this ins!tu!on. All University policies regarding academic integrity apply to this course. Academic dishonesty can lead to a failing grade or referral to the Office of Student Conduct . Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, chea!ng plagiarizing fabrica!ng informa!on or cita!ons facilita!ng acts of academic dishonesty by others unauthorized possession of assessments or answer keys submi'ng the work of another person, or work previously used by oneself, without informing the instructor tampering with or modifying the academic work of other students sharing any course materials (e.g., assignments with or without answers; quizzes; exams; online course notes) via personal communica!on or websites other than those communica!ons used as a part of the course copying from other students, answer keys, or solu!ons sets having a tutor or other person complete an assignment These are all examples of academic dishonesty. Instructors regularly monitor the web for inappropriate pos!ng of instruc!onal materials. It is expected that any work submi"ed is your own. Class members may work on WileyPLUS homework assignments and lab assignments in groups, but each student must write up answers in their own words and submit separately. Students may study together for quizzes and exams, but each student must complete these assessments independently, using their own words. For any material or ideas obtained from other sources, such as the textbook or other informa!on you find on the web, in the library, etc., a source reference must be given. Direct quotes from any source must be iden!fied as such. Academic Integrity Viola#ons In cases where academic integrity is ques!oned, the Policy on Academic Integrity indicates that procedure requires an instructor to no!fy a student of suspected dishonesty before filing a charge and recommended sanc!on with the College. Any instances of academic dishonesty in this course will be pursued under the University and Eberly College of Science regula!ons concerning academic integrity. Procedures allow a student to accept or contest a charge. If a student chooses to contest a charge, the case will then be managed by the College’s Academic Integrity Commi"ee. If a disciplinary sanc!on also is recommended, the case will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct . Academic integrity viola!on sanc!ons range from receiving a 0 on the assignment in ques!on to an F or XF in the course with a recommenda!on for addi!onal disciplinary sanc!ons.
