Read on to learn more.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>WHAT\u2019S ACADEMIC INTEGRITY?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NEGLIGENCE vs. DISHONESTY.<\/strong> Academic negligence is a minor unintentional slip-up in academic ethical behavior even though the student should have known better. Colby students should <strong>not<\/strong> receive more than one report of academic negligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Academic dishonesty is a significant ethical violation, characterized by willful transgression against academic integrity.&nbsp; A finding of academic dishonesty results in up to an F in a course (for a 1st report) and a letter in the student\u2019s disciplinary file for 6 years after leaving Colby. But expulsion from the College can result, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SOME INTEGRITY VIOLATIONS.<\/strong> This list is <strong>not exhaustive<\/strong>, but is instead intended to help show the range of behaviors that are violations against academic integrity. So, <strong>avoid the following<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Submitting someone else\u2019s work as your own (including work done by classmates\/aquaintances\/family members, published material, or material found on the internet)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submitting AI-produced work as your own, and\/or not citing AI-generated material even when such material is allowed in assignments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plagiarizing in any way<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creating work to be submitted by someone else as their own<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giving or receiving answers during an exam or quiz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using unauthorized notes&nbsp; or materials on an exam or quiz<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looking at someone else\u2019s work during an exam or quiz (with or without their knowledge)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtaining or sharing an unauthorized copy of a test in advance of its scheduled dissemination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using tech inappropriately during assessments or tests, including (but not limited to) accessing Moodle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Working with another student\/students on an assignment when that is not expressly allowed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stealing or destroying the work of other students<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stealing ideas from other students and presenting them as your own<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Falsifying or fabricating data, references, or citations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turning in work created for another class (unless the professor of the current class explicitly says this is OK)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misrepresenting facts to faculty or administrators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Including into an assignment any material that you did not create without citing its source\u2014including not only text but also images, tables, and figures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>WHAT YOU SHOULD DO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHEN IN DOUBT, FIND OUT.<\/strong> Different courses have different guidelines, so it\u2019s imperative to take a good look at the syllabus for each of your courses so that you\u2019ll <strong>know what is and isn\u2019t allowed<\/strong>. Also be sure to check assignment instructions, since some professors may have different rules for each assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still unsure, <strong>talk to your professor<\/strong>, either by asking questions in class or by going to their office hours. Also, view the video tutorial\/tests from Indiana University linked to the digital version of this poster (via the QR code) to check your plagiarism knowledge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REMEMBER WHAT\u2019S IMPORTANT.<\/strong> Most students who are tempted to transgress against academic integrity are worried about their grades. So it\u2019s worthwhile to remember that the consequences for dishonesty are <strong>far worse<\/strong> than just a bad grade on an exam or project. Planning ahead and keeping in mind that faculty design courses and assignments to prepare you for post-Colby life will help remove that temptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>FURTHER RESOURCES<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colby College . \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colby.edu\/academics\/academic-integrity\/\">Academic Integrity<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colby College Library Guides. <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.colby.edu\/avoidingplagiarism\">Avoiding Plagiarism: Academic Honesty<\/a>.
