Academic Integrity Policy  

 

As a student, I always wanted to know how well I did on an exam as soon as possible.  By using the ChiTester system, you will be able to learn your score immediately after submitting your exam and can review the questions that you missed at that time.  This should enhance the learning process for you.  However, you are not permitted to convey to others or to receive from others any specific information about the content of the exam.  This is considered cheating for the purposes of this course.

 

Students are encouraged to collaborate in other ways, for example: working on the chapter lessons and problem sets together, discussing the "business and society" essay questions, reading each other's term paper drafts, and studying in groups prior to taking the course exams.

 

All written work submitted should be that of the student whose name appears on the paper.  Proper citations and quotation marks should be used to indicate the work and words of others.  The penalty for academic dishonesty in this class will be a failing grade.  Additional penalties may be imposed in accordance with university policy:
