HUMBER COLLEGE POLICIES: Plagiarism & Cheating Plagiarism is the act of submitting, as one's own, material that is in whole, or in substantial part, someone else's work. Students are expected to acknowledge the sources of ideas and expressions they use in essays, reports, assignments, etc. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism and is punishable by academic penalty. Cheating, by obtaining answers to exam and test questions through unauthorized means (from another student, from hidden notes, etc.), is also an academic offence and is punishable by academic penalty. An academic penalty begins with the assignment of a grade of zero (0) in such situations and can be extended up to and including suspension from a program/course and expulsion from the College. Language Students are expected to speak in a respectful manner while in class or during group meetings for class assignments. Students with English language difficulties are asked to identify themselves to the professor in advance of class and allowances will be made to accommodate. The use of any derogative language will not be tolerated. Such use will result in the student’s dismissal from the class and may result in further academic action. Attendance Students are expected to attend class each week prepared for discussion. If a student knows in advance s/he will not be in attendance, s/he must notify the professor by email. In the case of illness or emergency resulting in class absence, students must also notify the professor by email. Students who miss class are responsible for collecting information missed. Writing Students are also expected to maintain a professional level of writing in all class related correspondence and written assignments with their peers, educators and school administrators. Late Assignments Students are expected to adhere to deadlines as they are set. If a student knows s/he will not be able to meet a deadline, the student must discuss the reason and an alternative with the professor in person during office hours. In the case of emergency or illness, the student must discuss the situation with the professor prior to the assignment due date.
