That Pesky Plagiarism Problem

HAL English class operates on two premises:

1. Each student is an honest individual who is capable of
doing his or her own work.

2. The only way real learing takes place is with academic
honesty.

Any time a student depends on work of another individual
or allows another student to use his own work, this is
cheating. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, the
following:

a) Borrowing or lending homework

b) Downloading or copying any printed matter from book,
magazine, or the Internet to use in your assignment
without giving credit to the source.

c) Copying information from another while in class.

d) Preparing to cheat in advance, such as having notes
written on hands, placed on the floor, etc.

e) Submitting someone else's essay

Should a student be found guilty of academic dishonesty,
the student will receive a failing grade (0%) on the work
in question. Repeated offenses could lead to any of the
following consequences:

1. Automatic zero on the assignment(s).
2. Involvement of the parents
3. Involvement of the principal
4. Suspension from class
5. Removal from class

If more than one student is found to be involved, the teacher
and a principal will decide the level of involvement of all
parties, and consequences for each will be determined.
