Use of knights.ucf.edu e-mail for correspondence is required per UCF policy. Policy Statements Academic Integrity Students should familiarize themselves with UCF’s Rules of Conduct . According to Section 1, "Academic Misconduct," students are prohibited from engaging in: Unauthorized assistance : Using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information or study aids in any academic exercise unless specifically authorized by the instructor of record. The unauthorized possession of examination or course-related material also constitutes cheating. Communication to another through written, visual, electronic, or oral means : The presentation of material which has not been studied or learned, but rather was obtained
University of Central Florida: Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering Department Fall 2018 EGN 3310 – Dr. Ricardo Zaurin through someone else’s efforts and used as part of an examination, course assignment, or project. Commercial Use of Academic Material : Selling of course material to another person, student, and/or uploading course material to a third-party vendor without authorization or without the express written permission of the university and the instructor. Course materials include but are not limited to class notes, Instructor’s PowerPoints, course syllabi, tests, quizzes, labs, instruction sheets, homework, study guides, handouts, etc. Falsifying or misrepresenting the student’s own academic work. Plagiarism : Using or appropriating another’s work without any indication of the source, thereby attempting to convey the impression that such work is the student’s own. Multiple Submissions : Submitting the same academic work for credit more than once without the express written permission of the instructor. Helping another violate academic behavior standards. For more information about Academic Integrity, students may consult The Center for Academic Integrity . For more information about plagiarism and misuse of sources, see “ Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism: The WPA Statement on Best Practices ”. Responses to Academic Dishonesty, Plagiarism, or Cheating Academic Integrity: Academic Dishonesty is a very serious offense and will result in a failing grade. Cheating, academic fraud and plagiarism are examples of academic dishonesty. This course adheres to the UCF academic creed which excludes sharing questions, answers, or attempting to do so . See the UCF Golden Rule guidelines for detailed information. Students should also familiarize themselves with the procedures for academic misconduct in UCF’s student handbook, The Golden Rule. UCF faculty members have a responsibility for students’ education and the value of a UCF degree, and so seek to prevent unethical behavior and when necessary respond to academic misconduct. Penalties can include a failing grade in an assignment or in the course, suspension or expulsion from the university, and/or a "Z Designation" on a student’s official transcript indicating academic dishonesty, where the final grade for this course will be preceded by the letter Z. For more information about the Z Designation, see http://goldenrule.sdes.ucf.edu/zgrade .
