Academic Conduct
Academic Honesty
We expect all students to be honest in their conduct in classes, in shops, and in the completion and the presentation of their work product.
| Academic dishonesty in academic work includes, but is not limited to: | |
| • | Plagiarism, defined as the presentation of the writings, ideas, or thoughts of another person as one’s own work in the preparation of a paper, laboratory report, examination, oral presentation, or other document; assigned or unassigned. It may include using another student’s disk or computer file in the completion of an assignment. |
| • | Dishonest conduct during a quiz, test, mid-term, or final examination; i.e. cheating. |
| Consequences: | |
| • | First Offense - The work in question receives a 0 (zero), the student’s parents are informed, a report is placed in the student’s CDC file. The student will then be required to read and study the plagiarism policy and demonstrate they know its content and meaning. |
| • | Second Offense - Same as above, plus, parents, student, teacher, and CDC administrator meet to discuss the offense. If parents do not attend the meeting, the grade for the marking period is withheld, and becomes a failing grade two weeks after the end of the marking period. |
| • | Third Offense - Parents or guardians are informed and student receives a failing grade for the course. |
