Academic Honesty Form
At three meetings throughout the year you should get your Academic Honesty Form signed by your supervisor. You need to talk about the sources you are using and how you are making sure the work is your own. Your supervisor should write comments on the page soon after.
At the end of your project, you will be required to submit the Academic Honesty Form along with all your other work. This is a declaration signed by both you and your supervisor to state that the work in the presentation, and that all others works have been cited correctly.
