Statement About Academic Integrity
Your Role in Preventing Academic Misconduct
Not only in this course,
but in your entire university experience, you are expected to
practice the highest standards of academic integrity.
Plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, and other forms of academic
dishonesty are prohibited. Plagiarism is using, borrowing, or
stealing someone else’s words or ideas without giving credit
to the source. This includes copying definitions and sentences
from textbooks, periodicals, other student’s papers, the
internet, or any other resource. Cheating can take many
forms, including the use of unauthorized materials,
information, or study aids on assignments or tests. It also
includes collaborating with others on exercises not designated
as group assignments. Fabrication involves the intentional
and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information
or citation in an academic exercise. Committing any of these
or similar acts, or helping others to do so, will result in
disciplinary sanctions. For more information consult the
sections on “Academic Misconduct” in Spectrum, the ETSU
Student Handbook, and the ETSU Honor Code (below).
ETSU Honor Code
East Tennessee State
University is committed to developing the intellect and moral
character of its students. To that end, all instances of
plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic misconduct
shall be punished in accord with Tennessee Board of Regents
Policy. Any knowledge of conduct of this nature should be
reported to the proper authorities. Not reporting instances of
academic misconduct represents a fundamental break with honor
code policy, and although this offense is not punishable,
reflects a callous disregard for yourself, your classmates,
and your professors. Penalties for academic misconduct will
vary with the seriousness of the offense and may include, but
are not limited to: a grade of F on the work in question, a
grade of F for the course, reprimand, probation, suspension,
and expulsion. For a second academic misconduct offense, the
penalty is permanent expulsion.
