Academic conduct All students at Indiana University are responsible for knowing the rules governing academic conduct. The complete code of student rights and responsibilities is available at All students at Indiana University are responsible for knowing the rules governing academic conduct. The complete code of student rights and responsibilities is available at http://dsa.indiana.edu/Code/index.html, and the specific rules about academic misconduct (cheating, plagiarism and other kinds of dishonesty) are available at http://dsa.indiana.edu/Code/index1.html (click on "Student Responsibilities"). The rules about academic honesty are important for everyone, but students who are new to the education system in the United States should be especially sure to read and understand them because the expectations here may be different from those they are accustomed to. In general, it is assumed that all academic work, including papers, essays, quizzes, tests, oral reports, projects, and performances, is a student's original work. Collaboration is sometimes permitted for certain assignments in some courses. You should always make certain that you understand what a professor expects for a particular assignment; if you are unsure, ask. It is also assumed that material borrowed or quoted from other sources (including from books, articles, the Web and elsewhere) will be acknowledged and cited. IU's Writing Tutorial Services (http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/wts) has a brief but useful page about plagiarism available at http://www.indiana.edu/~wts/wts/plagiarism.html. There is a short tutorial by Prof. Theodore Frick available online at http://www.education.indiana.edu/~frick/plagiarism/. The penalties for cheating are severe, and can include dismissal from the University. Students with questions about the rules are welcome to ask the Graduate Academic Advisor or the Director of Graduate Studies. ay, March 23, 2002 |
