| Cheating Policy |
It is the responsibility of each student to adhere to the principles
of academic integrity. Academic integrity means that a student
is honest with him/herself, fellow students, instructors, and
the University in matters concerning his or her educational endeavors.
Thus, a student should not falsely claim the work of another as
one's own, or misrepresent him/herself so that the measures of
one's academic performance do not reflect his/her own work or
personal knowledge. In this regard, cheating will not be tolerated.
Cheating is defined by the University as "intentionally using or attempting to use, or intentionally providing
or attempting to provide, unauthorized materials, information,
or assistance in any academic exercise." Cheating includes (but is not limited to) any communication
(written or oral) during examinations and sharing of work, such
as using the same models or computer programs or copying work.
All homework and projects must be an individual effort unless
specifically noted. Evidence of fabrication or plagiarism, as
defined by the University in its brochure Academic Integrity, will also result in downgrading for the course. Students who cheat on any assignment or during any examination
will be assigned a failing grade for the course. Therefore avoid all appearance of improper behavior! Students
who witness cheating should report the incident to the instructor
as soon as possible.
If you have any questions regarding this policy, please see Dr.
Michele Grimm, Associate Chair of the Graduate Program in Biomedical
Engineering.
