Ms. LaBeau's Classroom Basics

Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty refers to cheating, copying, plagiarizing, or otherwise representing the work of others as one's own through verbal, written, graphic, electronic, or other means. Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, the following: •looking at another student’s answers, or using a “cheat sheet” during a test; or, providing other students with the means to copy answers; •downloading material verbatim from an online source and representing it as one’s own without citing sources or crediting the author; •copying in any form another person’s computer program or software file and representing it as one’s own; •submitting work received through purchase or transfer as one’s own; •copying text in any form from a source, without proper citation, and submitting as one’s own; •falsifying, or attempting to alter, course grades, test grades, rank in class, grade point averages, credits earned, or other confidential information about oneself or others; •acquiring and/or distributing tests, answers to tests, answer keys, class projects, research papers, reports, or school-owned materials through verbal, written, graphic, electronic, or other means. Students determined to have been academically dishonest are subject to disciplinary action. Depending on the severity of the offense, the number of offenses, the impact on other students and teachers, and/or the curriculum, students may lose credit for a project or test, lose class or course credit, be suspended pending a parent conference, or be recommended for expulsion. Please understand the difference between getting help on your homework and assignments and copying another’s homework or assignments in part or in its entirety, or, having another do your homework or assignment for you in part or in its entirety. If you are unsure, ask, because using somebody else’s work makes a student academically dishonest. Also, understand that verbally communicating test or quiz questions to another student prior that student’s test or quiz is “distributing tests, answers to tests….,” as noted in the final bullet point listed above.
