Academic Dishonesty: The Faculty of Engineering is concerned with ensuring an environment that is free of all adverse discrimination. If there is a problem, that cannot be resolved by discussion among the persons concerned, individuals are reminded that they should contact the Department Chair, the Sexual Harassment Officer or the Human Rights Consultant, as soon as possible.
Students are reminded that they should read and comply with the Statement on Academic Ethics and the Senate Resolutions on Academic Dishonesty as found in the Senate Policy Statements distributed at registration and available in the Senate Office.
Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: “Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty”), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.htm
The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty: 1. Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one’s own or for which other credit has been obtained. 2. Improper collaboration in group work. 3. Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
Important Notes: * PLEASE NOTE THAT ANNOUNCEMENTS CONCERING ANY TYPE OF GRADED MATERIAL MAY BE IN ANY FORMAT (E.G., ANNOUNCEMENTS MAY BE MADE ONLY IN CLASS). STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLETING THE GRADED MATERIAL REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY RECEIVED THE ANNOUNCEMENT OR NOT.
* THE INSTRUCTOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE FORMAT OF ANY DEFERRED MIDTERMS OR DEFERRED FINAL EXAMS (I.E. FORMAT MAY BE WRITTEN OR ORAL).
