anything that has been determined by the teacher to be an individual effort. Both are considered serious
offenses and will significantly affect your course grade. Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct booklet for
additional information.

Methodology

fundamental to the process of learning and evaluating academic performance. Academic dishonesty will not
be tolerated. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to the following: cheating, plagiarism, tampering
with academic records and examinations, falsifying identity, and being an accessory to acts of academic
dishonesty.
