Definitions
Cheating (attempted or accomplished) encompasses but is not limited to:
- the willful giving or receiving of an unauthorized, unfair, dishonest, or unscrupulous advantage in academic work over other students through fraud; duress; theft; trickery; copying from another student; communications before, during or after assessments such as text messaging, imaging, e-mailing, telephoning, talking, signing, gesturing, etc.; and the unauthorized use of study aids, memoranda, books, computers, data or other information during assessments.
- Simply stated: Cheating is trying or succeeding in giving information to or receiving information from others by copying, signing, talking about test questions or assignments, text-messaging or taking photos.
Plagiarism encompasses but is not limited to:
- the presenting as one’s own the words, the work or the opinion of someone else without proper acknowledgement.
- the borrowing of the sequence of ideas, the arrangement of material, or the pattern of thought of someone else without proper acknowledgement.
- the use of one’s own work already presented to one class to fulfill the requirements of another.
- Simply stated: “If you didn’t think of it and write [compose, create, produce] it all on your own, and you didn’t cite (write down) the sources…, it’s probably ‘plagiarism’.” (Student Cheating and Plagiarism in the Internet Era, pg. 116)
