CHEATING

"It's called Dumpster diving, * he said

According to the University Academ
ic Dishonesty Policy, the myriad ways
of cheating fall under four distinct cate
gories: plagiarism, fabrication, cheating
and academic misconduct.
Plagiarism is defined as" the inclu
sion of someone else's product, words,
ideas or data as one's own work."
The policy identifies fabrication as
"the intentional use of information that
the author has invented when he or she
states or implies otherwise, or the falsi
fication of research or other findings
with the intent to deceive"
A student is guilty of cheating when
he or she "misrepresents or misleading
ly demonstrates that he or she has mas
tered information on an academic ex
ercise that he or she has not mastered,
including the giving or receiving of
unauthorized help in an academic ex
ercise."
And academic dishonesty is "the in
tentional violation of university poli
cies, such as tampering with grades, or
taking part in obtaining or distributing
any part of an unadministered test or
any information about the test."
The University ensures that the stu
dent body is aware of the official policy
on academic dishonesty by publishing
it every term in the schedule of classes.
But even though the information is
widely disseminated, many students
don't realize certain practices are con
sidered academically dishonest.
For example, submitting the same
paper for multiple classes is considered
a cheating offense.
Many students are also unaware that
paraphrasing another author's ideas or
research without citing where the infor
mation came from is unacceptable
EXAMPLES OF
ACADEMIC
DISHONESTY
• Copying from another student.
• Collaborating without authority or
allowing another student to copy
one's work in a test situation.
• Using unauthorized materials
during a test.
• Resubmitting work that was
produced for another assignment.
• Taking a test for someone else or
permitting someone else to take a
test for you.
• Citing information not taken from
the source indicated.
• Inventing data or source
information.
• Using another person’s ideas,
opinions, work, data or theories,
even if they are completely
paraphrased in your own words.

Policy on Academic Dishonesty
The rules on properly citing informa
tion can be especially confusing, said
Drew Morse, associate director of the
composition program. But there are
several avenues of assistance available
to help students understand how to
write a research paper, such as Academ
ic learning Services. He added that the
University's basic composition classes
— Writing 121,122 and 123 — are tai
lored to provide more detailed instruc
tion to students on what constitutes ac
ademic dishonesty.
"We can't assume students come
from high school to college knowing
these tilings," Morse said. "There's a
learning process there"
