VIII. POLICIES

Plagiarism, academic dishonesty, and other forms of misconduct. Webster’s defines plagiarism as stealing or passing off ideas or words of another as one’s own; use, without crediting the source; committing literary theft; presenting as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. NSU students sign a statement verifying the authenticity of authorship with each written assignment. Plagiarism is not acceptable, so care must be taken to credit any sources used in preparing term papers, theses, or dissertations. Additionally, the submission of written assignments and papers for one course originally submitted and receiving a grade for another course is unacceptable. Students should study the APA Style Manual; it explains how to credit sources.

Be sure that if you are using the ideas or work of someone else, that you credit that person, book, article, etc. This must be done regardless of whether you use direct quotes or whether you paraphrase someone else's work. Further, any time you use more than three words in a row that came from someone else,

http://www.turnitin.com/�


you must use quotation marks. (If you copy someone else’s work and then put the source at the end of the copied material, this is still plagiarism.) Also, do not overuse quotes in your work. It is the job of the graduate student to read material, synthesize it, and put it in your own words while acknowledging the source. Remember that APA references require that if you quote material, you must add the page or paragraph number of that quote to your citation (author, year, page). All referencing should be in APA style unless directed otherwise by the instructor (such as using the heading Introduction) Please note that the instructor regularly uses an online plagiarism checker, Turnitin.com.

Course withdrawals will not be permitted to avoid the academic consequences of plagiarism levied by the faculty and/or associate dean. These consequences may include reduced or failing course grades.

Late submission of assignments will not be accepted unless by prior arrangement and permission from the instructor. Additional work to improve grades will not be allowed.

Following is the Huizenga School’s policy on Academic Misconduct.

General Academic Misconduct Policy of the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship The H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship (Huizenga School) is strongly committed to a policy of honesty in academic affairs. Students are expected to do their own academic work. Students are awarded degrees in recognition of successful completion of academic coursework in their chosen fields of study. Each student, therefore, is expected to earn his or her degree on the basis of individual personal effort. Consequently, any form of cheating or plagiarism constitutes unacceptable academic dishonesty. Such academic misconduct will not be tolerated at the Huizenga School, and thus will be penalized according to the seriousness of the infraction, in conformity with the standards, rules, and procedures of the Huizenga School and NSU. Accordingly, students are well advised to keep in mind that suspension and expulsion from the Huizenga School are among the sanctions that may be imposed for violations of the Academic Misconduct Policy.

Definitions:

• Plagiarism, as defined by the Little, Brown Essential Handbook for Writers, 4th edition, is “the presentation of someone else’s ideas or words as your own. Whether deliberate or accidental, plagiarism is a serious and often punishable offense” (Aaron, 2001).

• Deliberate plagiarism is “copying a sentence from a source and passing it off as your own and, summarizing someone else’s ideas without acknowledging

your debt, or buying a term paper and handing it in as your own” (Aaron, 2001).

• Accidental plagiarism is “forgetting to place quotation marks around other writer’s words, omitting a source citation because you’re not aware of the need for it, or carelessly copying a source when you mean to paraphrase” (Aaron, 2001). GUIDELINES The United States Naval Academy’s statement on academic plagiarism (USNA, 2004) provides the following guidelines that we will implement verbatim at the Huizenga School.

1. “Give credit where credit is due. Inevitably, you will use other people’s discoveries and concepts. Building on them creatively. But do not compromise your honor by failing to acknowledge clearly where your work ends and that of someone else begins. (USNA, 2004).

2. “Provide proper citation for everything taken from others. Such material includes interpretations, ideas, wording, insights, factual discoveries, charts, tables, and appendices that are not your own. Citations must guide the reader clearly and explicitly to the sources used, whether published, unpublished, or electronic. Cite a source each time you borrow from it. A single citation, concluding or followed by extended borrowing, is inadequate and misleading. Indicate all use of another’s words, even if they constitute only part of a sentence, with quotation marks and specific citation. Citations may be footnotes, endnotes, or parenthetical references. (USNA, 2004).

3. Recognize the work of others even if you are not borrowing their words. Theories, interpretations, assessments, and judgments are all intellectual contributions made by others and must be attributed to them. (USNA, 2004).

4. Paraphrase properly. Paraphrasing is a vehicle for conveying or explaining a source’s ideas and requires a citation to the original source. A paraphrase captures the source’s meaning and tone in your own words and sentence structure. In a paraphrase, the words are yours, but the ideas are not. It should not be used to create the impression of originality. (USNA, 2004).

5. Cite sources in all work submitted for credit. Your instructor may also require you to identify the contributions of others in drafts you submit only for review. Ask your instructor for his or her citation requirements and any discipline-specific attribution practices. (USNA, 2004).

6. Be cautious when using web-based sources, including Internet sites and electronic journals. There is a common misperception that information found on the Internet does not need to be cited. Web-based information, even if anonymous, must be appropriately cited. Do not cut and paste or otherwise take material from websites without proper citation. (USNA, 2004).

7. Provide a citation when in doubt. Always err on the side of caution. (USNA, 2004).

8. Papers will be routinely submitted to www.turnitin.com for review. Cheating by Plagiarism: Plagiarism is a form of academic misconduct. The Huizenga School views plagiarism as the representation of another’s work, words, or ideas, statement of facts not generally known as one’s own without use of an academically recognized method of citation. Work submitted at the Huizenga School must be the original work of the student. Original work may include the words and ideas of others, but the source of these words and ideas must be indicated in a manner consistent with an academically recognized form, style, and citation manual. Plagiarism subjects the student to penalties pursuant to the Academic Misconduct Policy. Any student helping a student plagiarize is considered as guilty as the student assisted. Plagiarism involves using the words, information, insights, or ideas of another without crediting that person through proper citation. Proper documentation is required for all source material as discussed in the individual course policy statement which will be provided and explained by each instructor during the first session of each course. It is your responsibility to know the rules for proper citation – claiming ignorance of the proper citation rules is not an excuse for cheating. One can avoid plagiarism by fully and openly crediting all sources used. In the absence of guidance from the instructor, reference “APA Style Manual” (standards and rules to be followed when referencing source material). Cheating on Examinations and Assignments:

Academic misconduct consists of cheating of any kind with respect to examinations and assignments as well as the unauthorized possession and/or use of exams, papers, and materials. Cheating is defined and characterized by copying answers to examinations, quizzes, presentations, and projects from a source not approved by the professor. This includes but not limited to “crib” notes and “cheat” sheets, cell-phones, PDA’s, I-Pods, and of course, collusion with your fellow student (neighbor). In addition the use of test banks,


computers, answer keys, stolen exams, and instructor’s manuals are expressly forbidden. (USNA, 2004). Cheating subjects the student to penalties pursuant to the Academic Misconduct Policy. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• The unauthorized submission of work previously presented in another course. • Having someone else write a paper for the student; purchasing a paper from

someone or through the Internet. • Participating in an arrangement whereby work, classroom activity, or an

examination is done by another person. • Unauthorized collaboration on assignments or work to be presented. • Arranging to have others take examinations or to do assignments. • Obtaining examinations prior to administration. • Communicating or exchanging test information with other students during an

exam or quiz. • The manipulating of recorded grades or other class records in a grade book or

on a computer system or the falsifying of such information. • Bribery.

Cheating in the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship will not be tolerated. Discipline for Academic Misconduct Both the Professor and the Instructional Specialist have the authority to determine whether plagiarism or cheating has occurred. He or she will take the appropriate action depending upon the nature of the infraction. Expulsion: Deliberate plagiarism is unethical and dishonorable! In cases of deliberate plagiarism and cheating, the student is subject to immediate dismissal from the program. In these cases, due process is afforded through the appeals process. Failing Grade: Accidental plagiarism, or sloppy scholarship, is academically unacceptable. In cases of accidental plagiarism, the professor/instructor has the authority to issue a failing grade for the assignment or the course depending upon the severity of the infraction. In these cases, the decision of the faculty member is final. NSU Student Handbook: Academic Standards Huizenga School Handbook: Student Grievance Procedure

http://www.huizenga.nova.edu/Documents/STUDENT_GRIEVANCE_PROCEDURE.pdf�

Disruption to Academic Process Disruption of the classroom or the teaching environment is unacceptable at the Huizenga School and is considered a form of punishable academic misconduct. This includes email or any other form of communication. Disruption of the academic process includes act(s) or word(s) by a student in a classroom or teaching environment that in the estimation of a faculty member deflects attention from the academic matters at hand. Examples of such disruption encompass: noisy distractions; persistent, disrespectful, and/or abusive interruptions; improper language, dress, and/or behavior; and actions that present a danger to the health, safety, and/or well-being of a faculty member, student, staff member, or guest. Disruption also includes tampering with, defacing, or stealing library or online materials. Punishment for such disruption can range from a verbal reprimand by the faculty member, to dismissal of the student from class with a grade of “F,” to suspension or expulsion from the school.
