Academic Integrity
The following on-line brochures from the Dean of Students Office describe Purdue University's policies and procedures regarding academic integrity in relationship to academic standards and values.
The faculty instructor in CHM 123 views academic dishonesty as a serious offense, so we hope that cheating never arises as a problem in this course.
Consequences of Academic Dishonesty (that is, cheating)
For a first offense involving a laboratory, student(s) will
- receive a grade of zero for that lab.
- lose any benefit of the doubt for a borderline grade at the end of the semester.
- be reported to the Dean of Students Office.
For a second offense involving a laboratory, the student(s) will
- receive a grade of "F" for the course.
- be reported to the Dean of Students Office.
For any cheating on an exam, the student(s) will
- receive a grade of "F" for the course.
- be reported to the Dean of Students Office.
If one student forfeits the responsibility of preparing a lab project summary to the other student in the pair and that student changes or falsifies data or plagiarizes all or parts of the report, then BOTH students share the negative consequences associated with academic dishonesty, that is, cheating.
Examples of Academic Dishonesty (cheating)
While the following list of examples of academic dishonesty is not complete, the examples are provided for your information. If you have any questions at all about permissible behavior, save yourself some heartache and ask before acting.
- Copying a lab project summary; giving your project summary to someone else to copy. This includes files on computer disks as well as paper copies.
- Changing data for a lab project to fit the perceived answer (that is, what you think the answer should be).
- Using someone else's data as if it were your own information.
- Submitting a lab project summary or other work (for example, someone else's data) that you did not do.
- Copying or possessing an unauthorized crib (written or electronic) during an exam.
- Copying from another student's exam; allowing another student to copy your work on an exam.
