海角直播

The academic culture of 海角直播 is built on trust, which comes from the ongoing transparency, collegiality, and integrity of its members.鈥�听

鈥淚ntegrity鈥� means that something works to听maintain听itself as an integrated whole. As an academic community, we expect everyone to be honest and transparent in all their academic work and to encourage and uphold the honesty and transparency of everyone else.鈥�听

By registering for courses, students pledge the following:听

鈥淎s a member of 海角直播, I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to learn and abide by the principles of academic integrity and pledge that I will neither participate in nor tolerate any form of academic dishonesty.鈥�听

Every faculty member has the responsibility to refer to this overall policy at the beginning of each semester in every course. Faculty have pledged to foster the honesty of their students by conducting each course in ways that discourage deceit, cheating, and plagiarism. Students should note that every member of the faculty is听obligated听to investigate thoroughly any potential violation of this policy.听

The following offences听constitute听failures to听maintain听the above pledge and could result in grade penalty, disciplinary conference, probation, suspension, or dismissal.听

Deceiving

Deceit includes lying and misrepresenting information, either about course work, attendance, or any other kind of record, in order to听mislead or gain academic advantage.听

Cheating

When a student submits any work for academic credit, the student makes an implicit claim that the work is wholly his or her own, completed without the assistance of any person or source not explicitly noted, and that the work (or any major portion of it) has not previously been submitted for academic credit in any other area. In the case of tests, quizzes, and examinations, the student also implicitly claims that he or she has obtained no prior unauthorized information about them and that he or she will neither give nor obtain any assistance during their taking.鈥疌heating includes, but is not limited to:听

• Copying another person鈥檚 answers;鈥�听
• Allowing someone to copy your work on assignments, quizzes, or tests, whether in paper or electronic format;鈥�听
• Supplying or receiving drafts or completed papers, outlines, or research for a grade by any person other than the student;鈥�听
• Supplying or receiving unauthorized information about the form or content of an examination prior to its administration;鈥�听
• Supplying or receiving, during an exam, partial or complete answers, or suggestions for answers,听assistance听in the interpretation of questions on any examination from any source not explicitly authorized;鈥�听
• Using unauthorized technologies (artificial intelligence, computer, calculator, cell phone, etc.) on examinations and assignments;鈥�听
• Altering any instructional materials or resources and thereby interfering with another student鈥檚 work;鈥�听
• Removing听study or research materials and equipment intended for common use in assigned work without authorization.鈥�听

Plagiarizing

Plagiarizing is presenting another鈥檚 words or ideas as one鈥檚 own either by repeating the language of the original exactly (鈥渧erbatim鈥�) without proper citation or by mixing one鈥檚 language with that of an original source鈥檚 in a way that obscures that origin.鈥�听

• To avoid plagiarism, always鈥痗ite鈥痺hen and where language or information comes from somewhere else. If you then鈥痲uote鈥痶he source verbatim, you must preserve the exact wording and punctuation, including any mistakes, and听identify听the original locations clearly and accurately听by means of听citation.鈥�听
• Two main citation styles are used at the College. The first is the Chicago Style (CS), used in all Humanities courses. Within the CS are two听possible formats: the Notes & Bibliography format and the Author-Date & Bibliography format. Professors at 海角直播 typically prefer the Notes & Bibliography format. The second common style is 鈥淎PA鈥� style of the American Psychological Association, a style used also by other fields in the Social Sciences. You are听well-advised听to learn both citation styles. Online resources are plentiful.鈥�听
• Paraphrasing is the restating of an idea or argument in your own words. Paraphrasing is legitimate and useful, but a paraphrase might still include some form of plagiarism. Making听small changes听in the wording or arrangement of source听material,听for听example,听does not avoid plagiarism. Remember: when you bring forward a fact or datum that is not common knowledge, or when you present some observation, insight, or argument that comes from somewhere else, you must always cite its鈥�辞谤颈驳颈苍补濒鈥�source. Standard academic practice is to be dissatisfied with secondary sources: whenever possible, trace all sources of information and language back to their origins.鈥疘f you do not use an established citation style, or听misapply in听an established format, you expose your work to question and skepticism and will be given a warning or penalized.听
• Group projects are often essential to the learning process. The submission of group work implies a collaboration of ideas and shared responsibility for producing written and oral materials. Therefore, the violations of academic integrity listed above听hold听for the group as well as individual group members. 鈥�听
• The availability of AI-assisted resources (e.g., Grammarly, ChatGPT, CoPilot, Gemini, and others) and online learning/editing services (e.g., Chegg)听provides听a means of both enhancing and hindering student learning.鈥� Although you may use these resources while studying for this course, all graded assignments must be completed without the use of any AI-enabled resources, including Grammarly鈥痮r other tools with similar functions to it,鈥痷nless the instructor provides a specific exception and you include a proper citation.鈥� These assignments include, but are not limited to, homework, quizzes, projects, papers, and exams.鈥� If听it appears that your work听has been partially/fully generated by AI, you will go through the reporting procedure outlined below, and your professor will听decide听the penalty for the incident. Your professor must file an 鈥楢cademic Integrity Incident听Report鈥櫶齛nd听your professor might ask you to redo and resubmit the听work or听might grant a zero on the assignment. Any听subsequent听academic integrity violations will be subject to proceedings of the Academic Honor Board as outlined in the student handbook.听听

Reporting鈥�and Consequences

Please be aware that the following reporting process is required of all faculty:鈥�听

• In the event of听a suspected violation of academic integrity, the faculty member must contact the student and schedule a鈥痗onference. The faculty听member听will present the听student鈥檚听work in question, along with any evidence that supports the violation.鈥�鈥�听
• An Academic Integrity Incident鈥疪eport鈥痠s听initiated听outlining the violation, the resolution, and the agreed-upon penalty. The faculty member听determines听the听appropriate penalty听and records it on the Academic Integrity Incident Report.鈥�鈥�听
• The completed Academic Integrity Incident Report is then听forwarded听to鈥痶he Dean of Faculty, whose Office keeps a record of all incidents. This information is kept confidential, shared only in the case of a repeated violation, at the request of the听student,听or if the violation is听deemed听to be egregious by the Dean of Faculty. The Academic Integrity Incident Report is destroyed upon graduation.鈥�听
• An Honor Board composed of the Dean of Faculty, Dean of Student Engagement, faculty members, and students is called upon when there is an Academic Integrity Incident Report submitted to the Dean of Faculty consisting of either a second academic offense by a student or a first-time offense that is deemed听egregious in nature听by the Dean of Faculty.听
• The Honor Board听convenes听within 2 weeks of the notice but not sooner than 24 hours after the submission of the notice.鈥疍eliberations of the Honor Board will follow the procedural format of the Administrative Hearings for the most serious Student Life Conduct Violations as outlined in the Student Handbook. The鈥�decision鈥痜ormat will differ as follows.听
• The Honor Board听determines听by vote if the student听is responsible for听the alleged violation. If the Honor Board finds the student responsible by majority vote, a sanction is听subsequently听determined听by the board. The sanction is听determined听entirely by the Board and can range up to and including suspension or expulsion from the College.听
• The Honor Board鈥檚听decision听must be relayed in writing to the student within 3 days of the听board鈥檚听decision.听
• Students have the right to听appeal听the Honor Board鈥檚 decision.听Decisions on the appeal will be made听on the basis of听new information that was previously unavailable to the Honor Board or substantive claims of flawed procedure.听The appeal authority is the听Provost. The procedure for the appeal follows the same format as the appeal process for Administrative Hearing decisions described in the Student Handbook.听

Addendum for Students in Formal Transfer Programs with the University of Notre Dame听

Gateway, Driscoll, and NPP students are expected to uphold the Academic Integrity Policy while enrolled at 海角直播. If a student is found responsible by an Academic Honor Board, the Honor Board鈥檚 decision will be shared proactively with the University of Notre Dame. Other information is kept on file for one month after the student leaves and College, and it will be made available if Notre Dame requests information about the student鈥檚 academic integrity.听
