Academic dishonesty involves acts that may subvert or compromise the integrity of the educational process at the University of Arkansas.  Included is an act by which a student gains or attempts to gain an academic advantage for himself or herself or another by misrepresenting his or her or another's work or by interfering with the completion, submission, or evaluation of work. These include, but are not limited to, accomplishing or attempting any of the following acts:

1. Altering of grades or official records.

2. Using any materials that are not authorized by the instructor for use during an examination.

3. Copying from another student's paper during an examination.

4. Collaborating during an examination with any other person by giving or receiving information without specific permission of the instructor.

5. Stealing, buying, or otherwise obtaining information about an unadministered examination.

6. Collaborating on laboratory work, take-home examinations, homework, or other assigned work when instructed to work independently.

7. Substituting for another person or permitting any other person to substitute for oneself to take an examination.

8. Submitting as one's own any theme, report, term paper, essay, computer program, other written work, speech, painting, drawing, sculpture, or other art work prepared totally or in part by another.

9. Submitting, without specific permission of the instructor, work that has been previously offered for credit in another course.

10. Plagiarizing, that is, the offering as one's own work the words, ideas, or arguments of another person without appropriate attribution by quotation, reference, or footnote. Plagiarism occurs both when the words of another are reproduced without acknowledgment or when the ideas or arguments of another are paraphrased in such a way as to lead the reader to believe that they originated with the writer. It is the responsibility of all University students to understand the methods of proper attribution and to apply those principles in all materials submitted.

11. Sabotaging of another student's work.

12. Falsifying or committing forgery on any University form or document.

13. Submitting altered or falsified data as experimental data from laboratory projects, survey research, or other field research.

14. Committing any willful act of dishonesty that interferes with the operation of the academic process.

15. Facilitating or aiding in any act of academic dishonesty.

I have read the above policy and understand each act of dishonesty as described. I have had the opportunity to ask my instructor questions to clarify any parts I do not understand.
