- 4. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE AND POLICY: Academic honesty and integrity are essential to excellence in education. Since assignments, exams and other schoolwork are measures of student performance, honesty is required to ensure accurate measurement of student learning. Each student, parent and staff member has responsibility to promote an academic culture that respects and fosters individual achievement. HONOR CODE: On my honor, as an Eastview High School scholar, I will neither cheat nor plagiarize on any coursework.
- 5. DEFINITION OF CHEATING: Cheating is misleading an instructor in some way as to receive or attempt to receive credit for work not originated by the student or work performed with unauthorized assistance. Cheating includes, but is not limited to: Copying from another student Unauthorized collaboration Allowing another student to copy your work Using unauthorized “cheat sheets” or personal technology devices as “electronic cheat sheets” Revealing/receiving exam content, questions, answers, tips Resubmitting substantially the same work that was produced for another assignment or course
- 6. DEFINITION OF PLAGIARISM: Plagiarism is the use of passages, materials, words or ideas that come from someone or something else, without properly naming the source. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to: Copying someone’s assignment Copying text or other materials from the internet or other source without citing them Paraphrasing items from a book or article without citing them Using translation software to translate sentences or passages Using the same sentence structure or thesis as another source without citing it Basically, if someone or something else has done the work (or a portion of it) for you, and you do not acknowledge it, you are being academically dishonest.
- 7. IF THERE IS A VIOLATION: Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to: An investigation will be conducted in a dignified, confidential and respectful manner. CONTINUUM OF CONSEQUENCES: All violations of the honor code will have consequences appropriate to the circumstances. Consequences may include, but are not limited to: •Redo the assignment/exam •Reduced grade for the assignment/exam •Zero for the assignment/exam •Letter of apology •Referral to administration •Removal from course with an F •Loss of EVHS scholarship opportunities •Loss of National Honor Society membership •Revocation or refusal of teacher college recommendations
- 8. HOW DO I, AS AN EVHS SCHOLAR, AVOID CHEATING? It’s simple: ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS do YOUR OWN work! NEVER let someone copy any of your work on a test or assignment. NEVER share information about a test afterwards to matter how much someone begs you to spill the beans! Do not collaborate or “work together” on an assignment, project or exam without specific teacher permission. If confronted by a peer to cheat, or if tempted on your own, just remember your responsibility as an EVHS scholar to uphold the EVHS code of honor. Use the power of technology responsibly. Listen to your “gut instinct”. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. Finally, if you observe someone cheating or feel undue pressure from a peer to cheat, talk with a teacher, counselor or administrator.
- 9. Any t-shirt/clothing that is coordinated (designed, purchased, distributed, etc.) without the direction of a coach, advisor or teacher must be approved by an EVHS administrator.
