Edit this HTML by adding our school policy on cheating and plagiarism below the bulleted section on assessments: The following are unacceptable practices, including, but not limited to: • Cheating in its various forms, whether copying another student’s work, allowing your own to be copied, using unauthorized aids on an assignment or test; having someone else complete an assignment or test for you; submitting another person’s work as your own, etc. • Plagiarizing (e.g. presenting as your own the words or ideas of another person), including inadequate documentation of sources (electronic, internet, or print) and excessive dependence on the language of sources even when documented, relying on similar order of sentences while altering a few words or word order. • Using copyrighted material without appropriate citation or copying software or media files (such as music, movies, etc.) without permission. • Fabricating data: This includes falsifying or manipulating data to achieve desired result, reporting results for experiments not done, or falsifying citations in research reports. • Destroying, tampering, or altering another student’s work to impede academic progress. • Signing into a Class Connect session for another student who is not present, or leaving a Class Connect session without logging off or indicating that you have “stepped away” from the session. • Falsely reporting completion of assignments. • Using answers from Yahoo answers or any other similar site as your own. All Teacher Graded Assignments are to be completed only by students. Students are responsible for observing the standards on plagiarism and properly crediting all sources relied on in the composition of their work. Failure to abide by these standards will be reported to the principal and will result in a conference with the student’s Learning Coach. Students who violate this policy are subject to the following consequences: - 1st offense- Warning and education about plagiarism. Opportunity to redo plagiarized work for 50% credit. Note made in student file.
- 2nd offense-No credit for plagiarized assignment. Conference with administration and note in student file. May not promote from course(s) without more proof of mastery through teacher graded assignments or Blackboard Collaborate portfolio sessions.
- 3rd offense- Student is referred to administration for disciplinary actions which may include suspension or expulsion.
Hide this from users unless you assign the curriculum in its entirety. If you modify anything (add or delete assignments, change point values, remove units or lessons, etc.) you will not want to have students access this document. This document does not update with changes you make and will give students inaccurate percentages and point values for calculating grades.
Decide if you will use this or if you will hide it.
