Plagiarizing/Cheating
This school upholds the principle of academic integrity, whereby appropriate acknowledgment is given to the contributions of others in any work. Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty, where ideas are presented falsely, either implicitly or explicitly, as being the original thought of the author's. Plagiarism is a serious offense and while it may be committed unintentionally, it is defined by the fact not the intention. All students are responsible for their own work. Plagiarism will not be accepted. If a student is found to plagiarize or cheat in any way, they will be required to redo the assignment (in detention) to make sure they learn how to do so without plagiarizing/cheating. It is up to the teacher to decide the students' academic punishment with Mr. Grint's guidance.
