Academic Honesty

Academic Honesty – "Southeast Missouri State University (2021a) expects all students, faculty and staff to operate in an honest and ethical manner. Academic dishonesty is a very serious offense because it undermines the value of your education and the education of others. Students who engage in academic dishonesty face significant penalties. Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, contract cheating, misrepresentation, and other actions you take. Some of these are defined below:

• Plagiarism means passing off someone else’s work as your own, whether it is intentional or unintentional.
• Cheating includes copying from another person or source of information to meet the requirements of a task.
• Contract cheating is paying someone else or a company to do your work.
• Misrepresentation means you are posing as someone else or someone else is posing as you to complete a task.
• Collusion means working with one or more people to cheat. If you help someone cheat or plagiarize you will face the same penalties."
