Policy on Cheating
Any type of unauthorized communication or sharing of information or materials with others (verbal, nonverbal, or written) is considered cheating. (McCJH Student Handbook)
While it is impossible to list each and every action that may constitute “cheating,” the following are common examples:
* Copying another student’s homework, daily work, or test
* Letting someone else copy your homework, daily work, or test
* Using “cheat sheets,” textbooks, any type of electronic device, or writing answers on any part of the body or garments during a test or quiz
* Using a workbook or test (which has answers in it) from a previous year
* Telling another student in a different class period what the test or quiz
questions are or getting such information from someone else
* Working with others on an assignment or project, which your teacher assigned as independent work
* Reading “Cliff Notes,” other book-type or internet summaries,
or viewing a video instead of reading the original book or literary work that
your teacher assigned
Plagiarism: Using words, facts, ideas, or opinions that are not your own without giving credit to the source of this information. Plagiarism is a form of cheating.
Examples include:
* Copying a paragraph from an encyclopedia or other reference book and putting it into your research paper without citing the source.
* Copying all or a part of a paper or essay that you found on the internet and
integrating that into an essay or assignment as if it were your own work: This
is plagiarism whether or not you copy it “word for word,” or move around a
word or two.
You have the responsibility to understand and abide by this policy. Please note that cheating or allowing someone to cheat off of your work will result in both school discipline consequences and loss of credit for your homework, daily assignment, test, or project. If you have any doubt or uncertainty about whether your actions potentially constitute cheating, please ask your teacher BEFORE the incident occurs.
