Academic Honesty
I fully support Baruch College’s policy on Academic Honesty, which states, in part:
“Academic dishonesty is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Cheating, forgery, plagiarism and collusion in dishonest acts undermine the college’s educational mission and the students’ personal and intellectual growth. Baruch students are expected to bear individual responsibility for their work, to learn the rules and definitions that underlie the practice of academic integrity, and to uphold its ideals. Ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable excuse for disobeying them. Any student who attempts to compromise or devalue the academic process will be sanctioned.”See http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/academic/academic_honesty.html
Cheating and plagiarism are serious offenses. Academic sanctions in this class will range from an F on the assignment in question to an F in this course. Students suspected of academic dishonesty will be reported to the Office of the Dean of Students, the Baruch Honors Program, and MHC Deans. This report becomes part of your permanent file.
Cheating is the attempted or unauthorized use of persons, materials, information, notes, study aids, devices, using AI or ChatGPT sources, or communication during an academic exercise. Examples include but are not limited to:
- Copying from another student or allowing another to copy your work
- Unauthorized collaboration on an assignment or examination
- Taking an examination or completing an assignment for another student
- Asking or allowing another student or person to do an assignment or take an examination for you
- Submitting substantial portions of the same paper to two classes without consulting the second instructor
- Allowing others to research and write assigned papers including the use of commercial term paper services
Plagiarism is the act of using AI tools, ChatGPT for writing or research or presenting another person’s ideas, research or writing as your own:
- Copying another person’s actual words without the use of quotation marks and footnotes
- Presenting another person’s ideas or theories in your own words without acknowledgment
- Using information that is not considered common knowledge without acknowledgment
- Failure to acknowledge collaborators on homework assignments
