Academic
Honesty
"The Department takes the matter of academic honesty
very seriously. Academic honesty is essentially giving
credit where credit is due. And not misrepresenting what
you have done and what work you have produced. When a
piece of work is submitted by a student it is expected
that all unquoted and uncited ideas and text are
original to the student. Uncited and unquoted text,
diagrams, etc., which are not original to the student,
and which the student presents as their own work is
considered academically dishonest."
