Statement on Academic Honesty

It is expected that all work submitted for a grade in this course reflects the work of the student submitting it. Students are encouraged to discuss their work with others (inside and outside of class), and to exchange information, comments, and criticisms. But keep in mind that if you borrow an idea from someone else, you must cite the source, even if it is based on a conversation or correspondence.

Plagiarism or any other form of academic dishonesty will result in a failing grade for the assignment for the first offense.  A subsequent offense will result in a failing grade for the course.

All instances of academic dishonesty are reported to the Deans’ office for review.

Plagiarism is the use of another person’s words or ideas in any academic work. (This could be using using books, journals, internet postings, or other students’ papers.) For further information on avoiding plagiarism through proper acknowledgements, including expectations for paraphrasing source material and forms of citation in research and writing, students should consult the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (2nd edition), Chapter 6, on documentation.

The New School University Learning Center also provides online resources about avoiding plagiarism.

Please note that students must receive prior permission from instructors to submit the same or substantially overlapping material for two different assignments. Submission of the same work for two assignments without prior permission is plagiarism.

Any student who does not fully understand the standards of academic honesty should speak to me in advance of submitting coursework.
