alaric hunter's List: Term 15: Academic Intergrity

    • What   does academic integrity mean?  

      Academic   integrity essentially means "intellectual honesty": honesty   in the use of information, in formulating arguments, and in other activities   related to the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. It is a core   principle that underpins how we live and learn in a community of inquiry.   As members of an academic community, we are entitled to a wide degree   of freedom in the pursuit of scholarly interests. With that freedom,   however, comes the responsibility to uphold the high ethical standards   of academic conduct. American University's Academic   Integrity Code sets forth standards of academic conduct, defines   academic violations, and outlines the adjudication process for academic   offenses.

    "Academic Dishonesty
    Our students are expected to have integrity at all times here at Full Sail. This is especially true with regard to
    their academic performance, including the submission of creative work and assignments as well as test-taking in
    the classroom. Obtaining credit for work that is not a student’s own is academic dishonesty, discredits the integ
    -
    rity of Full Sail as a whole, and will not be tolerated. Below are guidelines and consequences that are important
    in ensuring success during a student’s tenure at Full Sail.
    Academic dishonesty can be cheating on tests, projects, papers, and homework. This includes, but is not limited
    to plagiarism, misrepresentation, and unauthorized (uncited) use or possession of material. This also includes
    any student who shares his or her work with the intention of helping another student to cheat. Collaboration is
    not allowed, and this student is subject to the same penalties as the person who plagiarized.
    Projects/Assignments:
    Students
    are
    expected
    to
    be
    honest
    and
    produce
    their
    own
    projects/assignments
    accord
    -
    ing
    to
    the
    specifications
    of
    their
    Course
    Director.
    They
    must
    work
    solely
    on
    their
    projects/assignments
    unless
    otherwise noted by this Course Director. Work submitted by our students is assumed to be a student’s own
    thoughts, idea, and words. Discovery of the contrary will result in immediate consequences. For group projects,
    all students whose names are submitted with the project are responsible for the content and will be subject to
    disciplinary action should plagiarism be discovered.
    Test-taking:
    Students
    are
    expected
    to
    complete
    all
    tests/quizzes
    both
    on
    paper
    and
    on
    the
    computer
    on
    their
    own. Discovery of the contrary will result in immediate consequences. For group projects, if your name is on
    the project, you are accountable for information turned in.
    Plagiarism Defined (as in Webster’s Dictionary):
    1
    to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one’s own
    2
    use a created production without crediting the source
    3
    to commit literary theft
    4
    present, as new and original, an idea or product derived from an existing source
    Examples of Academic Dishonesty:
    • Computer
    code
    • Music
    • Computer
    graphics
    • Marketing
    plan
    • PowerPoint
    presentation
    • Review/summary
    • Script
    • Makeup
    work
    This includes any other work that is plagiarized whether in part or as a whole. Anything turned in to satisfy a
    course requirement is expected to be entirely authored by the student submitting it. When students borrow ideas
    or words from a source, they are responsible for citing or referencing that source appropriately. To find out more
    on how to do this, ask your Course Director or go to
