Academic honesty

Any practice of academic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, obstructing the work of other students, etc.) perpetrated in this course will result in failure of the course. Do not do it.

For basic principles and definitions, see the subsection on "Academic Integrity" in the General Academic Standards and Regulations and the College of Arts and Sciences' Academic Integrity Statement in .pdf form. There's also a helpful webpage on Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism, provided by the Council of Writing Program Administrators, to which the Writing Center refers. Learning is wholly personal: it only happens if you do it yourself. Your University record should be certifying only what has really happened.

Loyola University requires that all instances of academic dishonesty must be reported to the chairperson of the department involved and to the academic Dean of the student's College.
