Academic Integrity  

Cheating = F in the course. Cheating includes copying and other forms of misrepresentation. Here is the SJSU Academic Integrity Statement:

Academic integrity is essential to the mission of San Jos� State University. As such, students are expected to perform their own work (except when collaboration is expressly permitted by the course instructor) without the use of any outside resources. Students are not permitted to use old tests, or quizzes when preparing for exams, nor may they consult with students who have already taken the exam. When practiced, academic integrity ensures that all students are fairly graded. Violations to the academic integrity policy undermine the educational process and will not be tolerated. They also demonstrate a lack of respect for oneself, fellow students, the course instructor, and can ruin the university�s reputation and the value of the degrees it offers. We all share the obligation to maintain an environment that practices academic integrity. Violators of the academic integrity policy will be subject to failing this course and being reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs for disciplinary action that could result in suspension or expulsion from San Jos� State University.
