Plagiarism, Cheating, and Academic Integrity
Plagiarism is the practice of copying words, sentences, images, or ideas for use in written or oral assessments without
giving proper credit to the source. Cheating is defined as the giving or receiving of illegal help on 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
Films, slides, field trips, guest speakers, military drill, physical exercise, and library use. Academic integrity is
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.
