Academic Dishonesty |
The faculty
believes that honesty is a hallmark of professionalism and academic
dishonesty is viewed as unprofessional conduct. Academic dishonesty will
not be tolerated in any form. All persons involved in academic
dishonesty will be disciplined in accordance with University regulations
and procedures. Discipline may include suspension or expulsion from the
University. "Scholastic dishonesty includes but is not limited to cheating, plagiarism, collusion, the submission for credit of any work or materials that are attributable in whole or in part to another person, taking an examination for another person, any act designed to give unfair advantage to a student or the attempt to commit such acts." (Regent's Rules and Regulations, Part One, Chapter VI, Section 3, Subsection 3.2, Subdivision 3.22). Professional nursing behavior requires that unprofessional conduct should be reported. Reflecting that professional obligation, a student with knowledge of academic dishonesty is obliged to not participate in such an activity and to report known incidents. To provide further clarification of authorship responsibilities note the following: copying another student's paper or any portion of it or copying any portion of published material (i.e. books or journals) without documenting the source adequately is plagiarism. If five (5) or more words in sequence are taken from a source, these words must be placed in quotation marks and the source referenced with author' or rephrased by transposing words or expressing the same idea by substituting different words, the idea must be attributed to the author by proper reference citation. If a single author's ideas are discussed in more than one paragraph, the author must be referenced at the end of each paragraph. Authors whose words or ideas have been used in the preparation of a paper must be listed in the references cited at the end of the paper. Please refer to your APA Publication Manual (current edition) for detailed guidance |
