Academic Integrity is important in all the classes that you take. This class and lab will operate on an honor system. You are welcome (in fact, encouraged) to discuss laboratory assignments with your classmates or colleagues, but all the work that you turn in for this class must be your own.

Academic dishonesty is defined as an act of academic fraud. It could include: cheating, plagiarism, falsification, impersonation, obstruction, or giving assistance. The NMT policy on Academic Honesty provides for stiff penalties. Please take the time to visit the class web site to learn what is expected of our students in each of these areas.

Examples: Exams: If you copy answers from another student, are caught with a crib sheet, or in any more creative way attempt to cheat on an exam you will immediately be given a failing grade for the course. Furthermore, we will petition the Dean of Students to have you placed on probation or suspended from school.

Labs: Getting (or giving) help from (to) a colleague on an assignment if you are confused or stuck = OK Copying any portion (or all) of an assignment or letting someone copy your assignment = not OK

At the beginning of the semester, every student in this class will sign a statement indicating that they will neither give nor receive unauthorized aid on any assignment, lab, or exam in this class. Then, implicit in all the assignments that you complete for this class is the statement, "On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work."
