ACADEMIC CONDUCT ISSUES

Important:
Do not copy, paraphrase or translate anything
from anywhere without saying from where
you obtained it. Source:

It is not OK

Copy from ANYWHERE without saying from where it came.

Let another student copy your work and then submit it as his/her own.
Hand in the same assignment in more than one class.
Have unauthorized material in an exam, such as cheat sheets, crib notes.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE CAUGHT USING THEM - JUST HAVING THEM WILL
GET YOU INTO TROUBLE!
Copy from someone else's exam.
Communicate with another student during an exam by talking or using
some form of signals.
Add or remove pages from an examination booklet or take the booklet out
of an exam room.
Get hold of or steal exam or assignment answers or questions.
Write a test or exam for someone else or have someone write for you.
Hand in false documents such as medical notes, transcript or record.
Falsify data or research results.

But if you do...

The Professor will file an incident report.
You will be asked to come to an interview with the Associate Dean.
A decision will be made to uphold or dismiss the charge.
A grade of "0" in the assignment, exam or course
A failing grade in the course with no right to a supplemental exam
Requirement to take up to an additional 24 credits
In the case of a second offence:
Suspension of up to three years
Expulsion from the University
A charge of academic misconduct will appear on your student record.

Final Evaluation Note

The final exam will be marked and grades
submitted according to the academic
requirements of the University.
It is reasonable for students who think that they
performed better than their grade, the final
exam.
However, retrieving exams is a time consuming
activity. This is why the final exams will be seen
on a scheduled date . After the beginning of the
summer term, the instructor will post on his
office door the scheduled day for exam review.

 If one is interested, he/she must pass by and

book a time slot of 10 minutes.
The objectives of this review are to provide the
opportunity for the student to assess his
mistakes.
Meanwhile, the review might help the student to
evaluate if he/she will apply for the exam reevaluation.
The review period will be not used, under any
circumstance to negotiate or comment on the
grade. As the review day will have 20 such slots,
the exam review will be based on first-come firstserved basis.

the course will be posted on the course
Moodle page.
