Academic integrity is a critical part of all coursework and dissertation writing. Every student attending the School of Nursing is expected to adhere to the U of M Code of Conduct (https://oscai.umn.edu/), as well as the School of Nursing Behavioral Standards. Any violation of the above is considered an act of misconduct and warrants disciplinary action appropriate to the violation, including failing a written exam. Particularly relevant to the written exam is plagiarism, defined as “representing the words, creative work, or ideas of another person as one’s own without providing documentation of source. (1)" Examples include, but are not limited to:
Copying information word for word from a source without using quotation marks and giving proper acknowledgement by way of footnote, endnote, or in-text citation;
Representing the words, ideas or data of another person as one’s own without providing proper attribution to the author through quotation, reference, in-text citation, or footnote;
Paraphrasing, without sufficient acknowledgement, ideas taken from another person that the reader might reasonably mistake as the author’s; and
Borrowing various words, ideas, phrases, or data from original sources and blending them with one’s own without acknowledging the sources.
The use of artificial intelligence (ChatGPT, Google Bard, etc.) is not allowed in the writing of any PhD assignments/exams including but not limited to the Preliminary Written Exam and Dissertation.
Students and faculty instructors and examiners are encouraged to use sources available to students such as Turn-It-In to verify that plagiarism has not occurred whether intentional or not.
