Academic Honest Policy

This is a copy of my school's Academic Honesty Policy, I believe it can apply to anyone.

"Definitions:

1. Unless a teacher has made it clear that an assignment, project, or test is to be done as a group or in pairs, it is dishonest to give help to any other student. This is commonly known as cheating.

2. Unless a teacher has made it clear that an assignment, project, or test is to be done as a group or in pairs, it is dishonest to give help to any other student. This is cheating. Some accommodations or exceptions may be made for those students having an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

3. If a teacher forbids the use of any source whether written or electronic, it is dishonest to use that source. This would include translation programs and calculators. This is cheating.

4. For written assignments it is dishonest to submit a paper that has already been turned in for another class unless the teacher has given his or her permission. This is cheating.

5. When writing a paper, it is dishonest to use any written, spoken or electronic source without giving credit to the authors. This would include paying for or downloading papers from the internet. This is commonly known as plagiarism.

Out of school student to student consultation or assistance from parents and/or tutors may be exempted from these considerations.

Consequences:

There will be appropriate consequences applied for infractions of these rules. The sanctions may include any or all of the following: a lowered grade for the individual assignment or for the course itself, parental notification and/or an office referral. Individual staff members of departments may choose additional consequences that correspond with the magnitude of the specific offense."

This site falls under the exemption because it is somewhat like a "out of school student to student consultation". However, if you copy and paste, then you are being dishonest and breaking this policy. Also, by agreeing to this policy, you are exempting me from any punishment. So I thank you for that.
