Cheating and Plagiarism
Because of the significant penalties applied for the academic offenses of cheating and plagiarism, I am posting this information on the main Assignments page of the course website, rather than burying it deeper in the site architecture.
The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Code of Student Behaviour (online at www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/secretariat/studentappeals.cfm) and avoid any behaviour which could potentially result in suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.
In particular, please note: No student shall represent another's substantial editorial or compositional assistance on an assignment as his or her own. Also, no student shall submit in any course or program of study, without the written approval of the course instructor, all or a substantial portion of any academic writing, essay, thesis, research report, project assignment, presentation or poster for which credit has been obtained by the student or which has been or is being submitted by the student in another course or program of student in the University or elsewhere.
Details on the appropriate use of academic referencing of sources for the paper are available on the course website and will be discussed in class prior to the submission date for the paper. Even if you are well familiar with academic referencing you are encouraged to review the material provided.
