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

– Quiz/Exam Delivery –
Location:
Exams and quizzes occur in the
Evaluation and Proficiency Center
(EPC)
located on the
second floor of the Engineering Building 2 (ENG2) Room 201. It provides a quiet, uniform, and convenient
environment for assessments and post-test score clarification/tutoring.
Scheduling:
A Testing Window period is allotted for each quiz/exam. Each student is
required
to
schedule an appointment
up to 5-business days in advance to take the quiz/exam as described at:
http://www.cecs.ucf.edu/EPCenter
.
Walk-ins are not accommodated.
The EPC does not remain open after its stated closing time regardless of the time which one begins taking a
test. Regardless of the cause and regardless of who is at fault,
if you do not have a submission before the
Testing Window period closes, then you shall receive a score of zero for that test
.
Identification:
Each student is required to present their valid UCF ID
Card to enter and exit the EPC.
Materials and Aides:
Only materials which are explicitly authorized for quizzes/exams shall be used.
Authorized materials are pencils, pens, erasers, an instructor-supplied “Testing Reference Sheet” provided
automatically within the testing software interface which opens in a new browser tab, and an authorized
calculator.
Texas Instruments calculators are provided free of charge for use in the room.
These are
non-programmable non-graphing calculators that lack hexadecimal and binary capabilities. Disposable
earplugs are available upon request.
All quizzes and exams utilize a
Closed Book
and
Closed Notes
format without the use of a student-
prepared formula sheet. However, an instructor-supplied “Testing Reference Sheet” is provided
electronically and automatically for each quiz/exam. Scratch paper will be provided by the EPC which is
scanned-in upon conclusion of the test. Only the final answers indicated in the Webcourses system will be
pre-scored
by the computer, so it is necessary to indicate your answer to each question in the computer
system as you complete it. For each answer having a computer-based submission, this course also extends
an opportunity to defend the work on scrap paper to allow a case to consider partial credit, as defined by the
Score Clarification
procedure on the following page.
Lockers:
Lockers are provided inside of the EPC where cell phones, graphing calculators, backpacks,
books, papers, or all other non-authorized materials shall be stored.
Exceptions to Test Administration and Review Policies:
To be fair to all students, the
only
exceptions to the Quiz, Exam, and Submission policies stated above are:
1)
students
already
having prior official authorization to take their tests per UCF Student Accessibility
Services (SAS) guidelines,
2)
students
already
having a medical doctor’s note in-hand with period of excusal stated by a medical
professional
prior to making request for exception
,
3)

– Score Clarification –
Feedback on Performance:
Submissions are graded quickly and returned for the next class meeting.
Individual scores will be “unmuted” in Webcourses upon the closing of the testing window.
Feedback on
Performance
will be provided for every assessment. This includes
Course High Score
,
Course Low Score
,
Course Mean
, and a
Histogram Distribution
of performance.
Post-Testing Review:
Students are afforded an opportunity to review their computerized
Pre-Scores
to
receive personalized
Feedback on Performance
. Students can review the
solution
, their
submission
, and
their
scanned scratch sheets
. To review them, visit the EPC located on the second floor of the Engineering
Building 2 (ENG2) Room 201H in the 20-seat room at the back of room 201.
Score Clarification Process:
The EPC is open for
Feedback on Performance
for all released
assessments, up through the start of the final exam period. Tests questions are not viewable outside of the
EPC due to IP Address security restrictions. Appointments are not required nor provided for the Proficiency
Room.
Additionally, test review can be conducted with the immediate assistance of the Teaching Assistants who
are present in the EPC to make the case for partial credit during the
GTA days/hours that will be posted
opportunately in Webcourses
for the week following the close of each test window
. All requests for re-
grading and clarifications of questions on exams, quizzes, and projects shall be originated in-person at the
EPC during that Score Clarification period. The GTA assistant at the EPC will resolve your concern
immediately to adjust the grade, if at all possible. If the concern is not resolved to your satisfaction, then
please meet the Professor
after
