What constitutes cheating? In the context of a class, a student cheats if the student does not personally and independently complete submitted assignments or answer questions in a submitted examination. Working on questions in an examination using resources (time, notes, textbook, calculators and etc.) other than the ones allowed is also considered cheating. If an assignment is collaborative, a student can still cheat if the student does not contribute sufficiently to the submitted assignment. Furthermore, any student who helps another student submit work without personal and independent effort is also considered an accomplice in cheating. Any accomplice is penalized exactly the same as a cheater.
The professor reserves the right to authenticate submitted work. This includes, but not limited to, the questioning of how a submitted program work and how a submitted document is created. For examinations, the professor can question of why wrong answers can be ruled out in a multiple choice exam. Submitted works that are not authenticated satisfactorily are considered results of cheating and consequently are discarded.
Repeated cheating can lead to suspension by a college administrator.
If a student suspects others are cheating, incidents can be reported anonymously. In other words, I will not disclose the informer without permission.
