  36. Academic Integrity

  37. Academic Integrity • Academic integrity is very important to us. • It’s your responsibility to know our policy. Not reading the syllabus is not an excuse. • We’re very good at catching cheaters. If you cheat, you will get caught and penalized. • Penalties are severe and strictly enforced. • 1st Time: You lose 100 points, a full letter grade. • 2nd Time: You get an F for the course.

  38. How to avoid violations • Don’t work with other people. Homeworks are not group projects. • Don’t share files with others, even if they claim they just want to “look” at them. • Don’t leave your files on a public computer or anywhere else someone could take them. • Don’t reuse files, even blank ones, because they may contain hidden details about the person who made the original file.

  39. Key Points • If you cheat, you will get caught. • Every semester, 5% of students cheat. • Every semester, 5% of students get the penalties. • Every semester, about a dozen students try to cheat twice. They are failed, period. • We have tools to find cheating, even if you use a file from a different section or semester. • This class is not hard enough to bother with the risks of cheating. Learn the material, do the work, and you will be fine.

  40. Policy Acknowledgment form • Before you can get credit for any of your work, you must sign the CS101 Policy Acknowledgement Form. • By signing this form, you certify you understand and will follow CS101 policies. • If you have questions, ask before signing. • If you think something may be questionable, you probably shouldn’t do it.
