Plagiarism, which comes from a Latin word for
"kidnapper", is a serious academic offense. Students who steal the
language, thoughts or ideas of another writer and represent them as their own are guilty
of plagiarism. Deliberate plagiarism, copying from a source and presenting it as
your own writing, or cheating of any kind on a test will result in an F on the work submitted, and may result in failure of
the course. Refer to the policy as outlined in the UCC Student Handbook,
quoted below and which will be followed in all of Professor Khodabakhshi's
classes:
It is expected that students will present as their own work only that which they have done themselves. The College will not condone academic dishonesty at any time, whether it be plagiarizing (the act of passing off someone else's ideas as your own), or cheating by any means during a test, an examination, or in any work intended to be done independently.
Any student who is found guilty in violation of academic integrity by a faculty member is subject to any or all of the following actions:
- A grade of F for the work in question.
- Any other action deemed appropriate by the faculty member, including lowering of the final grade for the course and/or makeup work.
- Immediate and complete failure for the course.
- A Censure or Probation initiated by the faculty member and enacted by the Dean of Student Services Office. This includes the creation of a file in the student's name with full documentation of the act of academic dishonesty.
- Upon the recommendation of the Academic Vice President, immediate dismissal from the College. This decision may be appealed to the Judicial Committee.
.Student Work
Students may collaborate on assignments, but it is never acceptable for one student to copy another student's work. Therefore, if two students hand in identical assignments in any of Prof. Khodabakhshi's classes, both students will receive no credit for that assignment.
