Policy on Academic Dishonesty : University rules prohibit cheating, fabrication, facilitating the academic dishonesty of another student, and plagiarism. If you engage in any of these activities in this class, you will fail this class. A letter will be sent to the appropriate campus officials requesting disciplinary action.

“Cheating or plagiarism in connection with an academic program at a campus is listed in Section 41301, Title V, California Code of Regulations, as an offense for which a student may be expelled, suspended or given a less severe disciplinary sanction.” (2009-2010 CSUN Catalog, page 530).

In this class, students who submit papers that include even one sentence or phrase taken from the work of others will receive an F in this class (not just in the assignment, but the class).
