In the sciences, violations of academic integrity may result in being fired and prevent you from finding another job in your field.
Violations of Academic Integrity at
AUC
Fabrication
- Fabrication is falsifying, making up, or inventing any information or citation in an academic work.
- Do not make up data for a lab.
- Do not make up information for a research paper.
Cheating
- Using books, notes, calculators, and cell phones during quizzes or test (unless told by the instructor to do so).
- Talking during quizzes or tests.
- Doing homework, research papers, quizzes, or tests for others.
Plagiarism
- Plagiarism is the representation of the words or ideas of another as your own in any academic work.
- This includes copying answers from a classmate!
- To avoid plagiarism, every direct quotation must be identified by quotation marks and must be cited properly according to the accepted format.
- When any source is paraphrased or summarized you must provide proper citation.
Students who commit these violations will receive a zero on their
homework, paper, quiz, or test, with no chance to redo the work. A repeat
offense will be referred to the AUC Academic Committee who will decide the
academic fate of the student.
For the entire academic integrity
policy and consequences of such actions, see the American University of the
Caribbean Academic Integrity Policy.
