Plagiarism and Cheating:
Cheating is obtaining or intentionally giving unauthorized information to create an unfair advantage in an examination, assignment, or classroom situation. Plagiarism is the act of presenting and claiming words, ideas, data, programming code or creations of others as one’s own. Plagiarism may be intentional – as in a false claim of authorship – or unintentional – as in a failure to document information sources using MLA (Modern Language Association), APA (American Psychological Association), Chicago, or other style sheets or manuals adopted by faculty at the College. Presenting ideas in the exact or near exact wording as found in source material constitutes plagiarism, as does patching together paraphrased statements without in-text citation.
The purchasing or sharing of papers or projects between students, or the re-use of papers or projects submitted for more than one assignment or class also constitutes plagiarism.
Disciplinary action may include a failing grade on an assignment or test, a failing grade for the course, suspension, or expulsion from the college, as described in the campus Code of Conduct (insert link ). The policy and disciplinary action for students in this specific course who engage in plagiarism is detailed in the course Syllabus.

If you encounter any course materials that are inaccessible with adaptive equipment or inaccessible due to extenuating circumstances please let me know, or contact Access & Accommodation Services.
Examples of what will satisfy the federal expectations for students studying online include, but are not limited to, the following:
Participation in a discussion forum or introductory ice breaker activity.
Completing a syllabus quiz.
Submission of any type of written response (ex: response paper, journal entry, reading summary, etc.).
Submission of a student-to-instructor message about a specific aspect of the course within the online course space (ex: a message in Blackboard from student to instructor).
Creation of a student user account in a third-party product that is a required part of the online course.
Students who simply log into the course. but perform no student-initiated action do NOT satisfy the expectations of the federal No Show attendance reporting and will be administratively dropped from the course.
One of these student-initiated actions must take place between the first day of the academic term and the census date. Please review the college’s academic calendar at (insert link here) to see the census date for all academic terms at the college.
