Academic

Integrity: “It is the aim of the faculty of Lincoln Memorial University to foster a spirit of complete honesty and a high standard of integrity. The attempt of any student to present as her/his own any work which he/she has not honestly performed is regarded by the faculty and administration as a very serious offense and renders the offender liable to severe consequences and possible suspension:

1. Cheating: dishonesty of any kind on examinations or written assignments, unauthorized possession of examination questions, the use of unauthorized notes during an examination, obtaining information during an examination from another student, assisting others to cheat, altering grade records, or illegally entering an office are instances of cheating.

2. Plagiarism: offering the work of another as one’s own without proper acknowledgment is plagiarism; therefore, any student who fails to give credit for quotations or essentially identical material taken from books, magazines, encyclopedias, web sources or other references works, or from the these, reports, or other writing of a fellow student has committed plagiarism.”

Plagiarism: Anti-plagiarism software licensed by Lincoln Memorial University for faculty use may be used to evaluate writing assignments in this class.
