Cheating and Plagiarism

Students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the University Code of Student Conduct, as on enrollment with the University the student has placed themselves under the policies and regulations of the University and all of its duly constituted bodies. Disciplinary authority is exercised through the Student Conduct Committee. The Committee has procedures in place for hearing allegations of misconduct. Copies of the student conduct code are available at the Student Services Office.

Academic dishonesty is never condoned by the University. This includes cheating and plagiarism, which violate the Student Conduct Code and could result in expulsion or failing the course.

Cheating includes but is not limited to obtaining or giving unauthorized help during an examination, getting unauthorized information about the contents of an examination before it is administered, using unauthorized sources of information during an examination, altering or falsifying the record of any grades, altering or supplying answers after an examination has been handed in, falsifying any official University record, and misrepresenting the facts to get exemptions from or extensions to course requirements.

Plagiarism includes but is not limited to submitting any paper or other document, to satisfy an academic requirement, which has been copied either in whole or in part from someone else’s work without identifying that person; failing to identify as a quotation a documented idea that has not been thoroughly assimilated into the student's language and style, or paraphrasing a passage so closely that the reader could be misled as to the source; submitting the same written or oral material in different courses without obtaining authorisation from the lecturers involved; or 'dry-labbing', which includes obtaining and using experimental data from fellow students without the express consent of the lecturer, utilizing experimental data and laboratory write-ups from other parts of the course or from previous terms during which the course was conducted, and fabricating data to fit the expected results.

Exercise 16. In academic writing, it is important to comment on ideas from sources you have included in your writing. This helps to integrate the ideas of others into your own work. Follow steps 1-3 to understand the process of integrating ideas into your work.

Step 1: Read the extract below and underline the writer's comments.

The marked increase in commercial financing of university departments, as with the oil industry’s support for chemical engineering and geology, has led to diminished autonomy among staff (Parkinson & Langley, 2009). It seems that academic researchers are obliged to research areas dictated by the industry concerned - areas which may be different from a researcher’s particular interests. Of greater concern perhaps is the example that many engineering departments are funded by the arms industry. Thus, not only are university departments becoming more dependent on industry for funding, with restrictions on the type of research, but a number of departments receive funding from industries that could be seen as ethically unsound.
