4. Academic Honesty
I understand that Plagiarism is a violation of my Academic Honesty Agreement.
•Copying someone else’s work.
The temptation to cheat while taking an online course may be especially great; after all, a teacher
isn’t there to watch you while you complete your work. Be fair to yourself and other students by
avoiding the temptation. Do your own work. We fully expect you to complete all course work
honestly. Cheating involves submitting work in a written assignment or exam that is not your own.
Honesty is the policy!
Students either knowingly or not, tow the line between right and wrong. Many times they are
unaware of what this issue really involves. Plagiarism is simply defined as the process of stealing
ideas and work of others. Plagiarism is cheating. Indiana Online has established steps to take when
a teacher identifies an assignment and confirms a student has plagiarized. The next slide will review
these offenses and consequences.
Violating the Indiana Online Integrity Contract will result in one or more the following consequences.
