Academic Honesty:
Cheating in any form is unacceptable. It will inevitably result in a failing grade. Plagiarism can never be accepted; not only will it lead to a zero grade, but it will also render the offender liable to the issue of a formal disciplinary notice that could find its way to the student’s permanent file.
