WELCOME TO FRENCH at UIC!

Academic Integrity

Please read the UIC policy on Academic Integrity (cheating and plagiarism).

You must work completely alone on anything (all kinds of homework, exams, writing assignments etc.) turned in for a grade. You can ask your instructor questions on email, in class, and in drop-in hours.
Cheating = taking credit for someone else’s work.
Consequences for cheating/plagiarism may include: a zero on the assignment, an F in the class, suspension or expulsion from UIC.

Here are some examples of academic dishonesty/cheating:

Using a translation program of any kind (AI, Google Translate, Word, etc.) or spell check on any work turned in for a grade. For example: homework, video chat, writing, etc. Writing in English and then having someone/the computer translate into French is cheating.

Copying answers or work from any source. Using another student's work as your own.
Working with other students, friends, family members on any kind of work submitted for an individual grade. Please work with your instructor or an LCLC Peer Tutor (free). They will give you the tools to find the correct answers yourself.
Having a friend or tutor correct your work. Tutors can help you figure out questions about grammar, homework, course materials, and show you where to find sources for help in the course materials. Tutors do not correct homework or compositions. Be aware of this when you go to LCLC Peer Tutoring. See here for more information about what tutors can and cannot help with.
Giving information about the content of a quiz or exam to another student (in person, via email, text message, or any other way).
