The following behaviors erode academic integrity, and thus create barriers to your ability to learn:
spending less than the time necessary to do an adequate job;
skipping readings or non-graded activities;
clicking through modules without taking the time to review resources;
relying on Artificial Intelligence to learn for you - I want to see your genuine knowledge!
While these behaviors can affect your grade and your learning experience, they are personal choices.
Other behaviors, however, move beyond 'choices' and breach academic rules and regulations, and even laws - including:
Other behaviors, however, move beyond 'choices' and breach academic rules and regulations, and even laws - including:
plagiarizing text by copying and pasting from web sites, blogs, other discussions, or published texts without citation;
re-using an essay or project you already turned in for another class;
cheating on a test or project;
copying directly from another student or another source without crediting the source;
buying or copying an essay or project from an internet source.
Prevention - I'd like to discuss the positive side first--prevention! Usually what I hear from students who have broken the rules is that they are legitimately confused. I'm here to help clear up that confusion! If you are not sure how to cite a source, integrate a quote, or acknowledge someone when you summarize, let me help you. We can arrange a short phone conference, a one-on-one video conference, or I can give you feedback on a draft. Rules about citations can be confusing--let's clear it up!
Punishment - Now the negative. The college really doesn't care if you break the rules on purpose or by accident--the punishment is the same. In my class, the first time you misquote, misrepresent, or copy/paste, you will have to re-do the work, and meet with me for a one-on-one. The second time, we meet again, but you are not allowed to re-do the assignment, and get a zero for that grade. The third time, you will not pass the class. So let's be proactive! If you are not sure how to cite, ask!
It's important for you to know the rules, and to know your rights. Please take a moment to review GCC's Academic Honesty Policy
