Any student who engages in academic dishonesty or knowingly assists another student to engage in academic dishonesty may receive a course grade of F and be subject to other disciplinary action. Such acts include, but are not limited to, copying material from another student on an exam, submitting another person’s work as your own, and knowingly allowing another person to copy your work. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.  If you are unclear about what constitutes plagiarism, consult these web sites:
