Mr. Gregory's Cheating Policy

Cheating is:

• Copying another person’s work or allowing your work to be copied.

• Providing answers for another student during testing.

• Getting information on tests others have taken.

• Bringing into the classroom or using any item, which gives any student an unfair advantage in completing the assigned task.

• Passing notes during tests.

• Talking during tests or examination when told this would constitute cheating.

• Stealing of tests quizzes, teacher editions, or teacher materials could result in out-of-school suspension.

• Any form of communication with anyone else other than the instructor during tests or quizzes will be considered cheating.

• Plagiarism
• Plagiarism defined (http://www.nyu.edu/education/studentspolicies/v.html) - "Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work as though it were your own. More specifically, plagiarism is to present as your own a sequence of words quoted without quotation marks from another writer; a paraphrased passage from another writer’s work; facts or ideas gathered, organized, and reported by someone else, orally and/or in writing. Since plagiarism is a matter of fact, not of the student’s intention, it is crucial that acknowledgment of sources be accurate and complete. Even where there is no conscious intention to deceive, the failure to make appropriate acknowledgment constitutes plagiarism."
