Academic Integrity | |
You are responsible for knowing and
following Cornell's academic integrity policy.
Absolute integrity is expected of every Cornell student in
all academic undertakings; he/she must in no way misrepresent his/her
work fraudulently or unfairly advance his/her academic status, or be a
party to another student's failure to maintain academic integrity. The
maintenance of an atmosphere of academic honor and the fulfillment of
the provisions of this Code are the responsibilities of the students and
faculty of Cornell University. Therefore, all students and faculty
members shall refrain from any action that would violate the basic
principles of this Code. Violation of the academic integrity policy
will not be tolerated, and will result in an F in the course.
See the University Code of Academic Integrity and the Department Policy on Academic Integrity. Professor Cardie received NSF support under Award 0074896 for development of this course.
