Academic Fraud
Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty that can be done intentionally or unintentionally. Intentional plagiarism is the deliberate presentation of another’s work or ideas as one’s own. Unintentional plagiarism is the inadvertent presentation of another’s work or ideas without proper acknowledgement because of inadequate practices or lack of preparation. Plagiarism includes an exact copying of another’s work, or a rewording, paraphrasing, partial quotation or summarization of another’s work without properly giving credit to the creator of the original work.
Students guilty of academic fraud or cheating will receive a 0 for the work and will be reefed to the assistant principal for discipline. A second violation of this rule will result in a student being removed from the class with a grade of F.
