Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception
or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences,
e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation
on the transcript (notation reads: “Grade of F assigned for
academic dishonesty”), and/or suspension or expulsion from the
university.
The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
-
Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one’s own or for which other credit has been obtained.
-
Improper collaboration in group work.
-
Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/policy/Students-AcademicStudies/AcademicIntegrity.pdf
