Academic Dishonesty is defined as cheating, plagiarism or otherwise obtaining grades under false pretenses. I will return any work that contains plagiarism to you without grading it. If I do this, please meet with me ASAP so I can instruct you on how to avoid academic dishonesty, and encourage you to revise and re-submit the assignment for class credit. Bioethics@Iowa State has a very helpful list of rules of thumb you can use to avoid plagiarism in your writing.

You are encouraged to work with your classmates on all assignments except your abstracts. However, you must turn in your own work for it to count toward your grade, free of any academic dishonesty.
