It is expected that all students, as members of the college community, adhere to the highest levels of academic integrity. Which Means: • Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students work MUST NOT be plagiarized. o If a high plagiarism score is detected (20% or more), the student will be asked to rework the assignment. o If a high plagiarism score is detected (20% or more) a second time, the student will receive a zero for the assignment without the ability to rework. o If a high plagiarism score is detected (20% or more) a third time, the student will fail the course and be reported to the Dean of Student Affairs. • Students must not cooperate on oral or written exams or quizzes or work together on other assignments unless it has been authorized by the instructor. Violations of academic principles such as cheating, plagiarism and other academic improprieties will be handled using the guidelines outlined in the Student Handbook. Quality of Work: At the college level of learning, it is expected that all work be submitted free of spelling, grammar and punctuation errors. Participation in the course work is expected and taken into account when determining coarse grades. Discussion and information must be thought- out, in-depth and incorporate new vocabulary and concepts learned during the course. Confidentiality The experiences or problems shared by classmates during meeting time are not to be discussed outside of class. This is preparation for those going into a helping field where confidentiality is stressed in the CEC Standards for Professional Practice.
