  1. Academic Integrity Mrs. Bathje 2009 – 2010 Courtesy of the following sources: http://www.marian.com/pdf/Academic%20Integrity.pdf ubtlc.buffalo.edu/eventResources/.../academicintegrity-academicassts-2.ppt

  2. What is Academic Dishonesty? • Cheating • Use of unauthorized materials and devices • Presenting another person’s works or ideas as your own (OR enabling someone else to do so) • Turning in any work that has been bought, borrowed, or stolen. • Lending your work to another student. • Paraphrasing or copying material in part or in whole from a source without giving proper credit. • Knowingly citing material inaccurately. • Falsifying or inventing information or citations.

  3. What is Academic Dishonesty? • Claiming another person’s or source’s ideas as your own. • Copying homework from another student or enabling someone else to do so. • Looking at another student’s paper during a test or quiz. • Giving another student answers during a test or quiz. • Telling a student who has not yet taken a test or quiz what questions are asked. • Unauthorized possession of instructional materials.

  4. Possible Consequences: • Conference with instructor • Parent notification • Sports Coach / Extracurricular Notification • Referral sent to administration • Administrative warning / Consequences as outlined in the MRHS student handbook • Final score of “0” in the grade book WITHOUT opportunity for rewrite or retake.

  5. Plagiarism vs. “Collaboration” • Collaboration on an assignment may sometimes be encouraged by your instructor. • Inappropriate collaboration is working with others on an assignment without teacher authorization. Unless I have specifically told you that collaboration is allowed, consider it off limits. I’m not interested in what you and a partner know – I need to know what you (as an individual student) are able to do.

  6. Plagiarism vs. “Collaboration” • EVERYTHING you complete in this course is expected to be in your own words and coming from your own thought processes. • I (as the instructor) expect to see individual takes on your answers…especially if you are completing an analysis assignment (which is the majority of this curriculum) • In short, I should NEVER see the same exact answer from any two students in regards to literary analysis.

  7. So What? • Modern youth culture’s take on academic dishonesty is becoming increasingly (and alarmingly) lax. I know this, because I’ve seen student attitudes toward cheating rapidly loosen in the past 8 years. • My job is to hold you responsible to the codes and ethics of this campus, and I will do so at all costs necessary. • Academic integrity is a question of ethics and character. Remember the acronym for MRHS and live by it: • Merit • Respect • Honesty • Success
