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."
