Any cases of scholastic dishonesty will be dealt with by giving an "E" for the course, and suspension may also result. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating on a test and/or plagiarism. • Plagiarism is especially important • Project generation and conduct of study are collaborative, BUT write-up is a single person endeavor
