Introduction
Academic integrity lies at the heart of learning. Members of the Wilson community
are expected to uphold the highest standards of honesty. Specific violations
of the Academic Honor Code are described below. These provisions will be enforced
according to the Student Code of Conduct.
Plagiarism
To plagiarize is to use the work, ideas, or words of someone else without giving
that person credit. Plagiarism may involve using someone else’s wording without
using quotation marks, a distinctive name, a phrase, a sentence, or an entire passage
or essay. The issue of plagiarism applies to any type of work, including exams,
papers, or other writing, computer programs, art, photography, or video.
Inappropriate Collaboration Close collaboration on academic work requires acknowledgment.
Inappropriate collaboration involves working with someone else in developing, organizing,
or revising a project (such as a paper, an oral presentation, a research project,
or a take-home examination) without acknowledging that person’s help. Specific policies
regarding collaborative work, peer review, use of tutors, and editing may vary by
teacher.
Dishonesty in Examinations (In-Class or Take-Home) An examination is to be solely
a student’s own work, unless otherwise directed by the instructor. No communication
is allowed between or among students, nor are students allowed to consult books,
papers, study aids or notes, without explicit permission. Cheating includes,
but is not limited to, copying from another’s paper, giving unauthorized assistance,
obtaining unauthorized advance knowledge of questions to an examination, or use
of mechanical or marking devices or procedures for the purpose of achieving false
scores on machine-graded examinations. Specific policies regarding examinations
may vary by teacher.
Dishonesty in Papers Students are prohibited from submitting any material prepared
by or purchased from another person or company. All papers and materials submitted
for a course must be the student’s original work, unless the sources are otherwise
cited.
Work Done for One Course and Submitted to Another Students may not present the same
work in more than one course. Under exceptional circumstances, teachers may permit
a significant piece of research to satisfy requirements in two classes. However,
both teachers must agree in advance to this arrangement. Students are reminded that
when incorporating their own past research into current projects, they need to reference
such previous work.
Interference with Other Students’ Work Students may not intentionally interfere
with the work of others, such as by sabotaging laboratory experiments or research,
giving misleading information, or disrupting class work.
