The following is a verbatim copy of Chemical Engineering's policy
on academic integrity. (Materials enclosed in parentheses applies
specifically to Nam Sun Wang's class.)
Violations of the Code of Academic Integrity will not be
tolerated. All suspected cases will be reported immediately to
the Student Honor Council. Cases will not be negotiated between
faculty members and students, but will be directed to the Student
Honor Council for resolution. The standard penalty for
violations of the Code of Academic Integrity is a grade of "XF."
Professors may prohibit the use of personal calculators during
examinations. If calculators are needed, they will then be
provided by the professor.
(Personal calculators are permitted in Nam Sun Wang's quizzes
and examinations. Do not transmit or receive signals from
the others.)
Graded examinations will be routinely xeroxed and filed. Cases
of students who alter graded examinations and present such for
regrading are reviewed by the Office of Judicial Programs, not
the Student Honor Council. The standard penalty for such cases
is suspension from the University.
All work submitted for grading is to be the original work of the
student whose name is on the work. This includes all
homework, all research papers, all lab reports, and all
computer programs.
(If you so choose, you may discuss homework assignments with
classmates, but the final work must be of individual effort. No
copying from other students.)
"Plagiarism" will be interpreted in its broadest sense: ideas from
others must be referenced; words from others must be in quotation
marks and referenced. Paraphrasing without referencing will be
considered plagiarism.
The same work cannot be submitted for credit in two different
courses without the written permission of both instructors.
The UMCP's Code of Academic Integrity is here. Students are responsible for knowing and
understanding the content of the Code. The first examination in
each undergraduate course in the Department may include one
question about the Code of Academic Integrity.
Falsification of excuses for missed work will not be tolerated,
and will be treated as cases of academic dishonesty. Excuses for
illness must be signed by a physician.
(Do not tell me your mother died again. No one, perhaps with
the exception of cats, according to some, has nine lives.) :(
