  19. Academic Honesty UF Honor Code All students admitted to the University of Florida have signed a statement of academic honesty committing themselves to be honest in all academic work and understanding that failure to comply with this commitment will result in disciplinary action. This statement is a reminder to uphold your obligation as a UF student and to be honest in all work submitted and exams taken in this course and all others.

  20. Academic Honesty • Do not copy and paste for credit • If results from others are used, clearly state so and give credit in the reference section. • Never cite verbatim. Reformulate in your own words and give credit in the reference section. • If in doubt, ask your class professor what is allowed.

  21. Joint Degree programs • MSEE/MS in Management (theoretical part of MBA) • MSEE/JD (Law school) • Benefits: Requires fewer credits combined than taken separately, ease of scheduling.
