b. Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students who cooperate on oral or written
examinations or work without authorization share the responsibility for violation of academic principles and
the students are subject to disciplinary action even when one of the students is not enrolled in the course
where the violation occurred.

to learn more about plagiarism, citing sources, etc.
Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary defines plagiarism as: “The appropriation or imitation of the
language, ideas, and thoughts of another author, and representation of them as one’s original work.”
There will be zero tolerance of any form of academic dishonesty. If any evidence appears of students not
doing their own work, plagiarism, or outright cheating on quizzes/exams, the matter is investigated. If it is
concluded that such dishonesty occurred, the student in question will receive an automatic “F” for the course.
Furthermore, the matter is then reported to the appropriate university office and the instructor will
participate in any proceedings against the guilty party.
Confidentiality
:
The experience or problmes shared by classmates are not to be discussed outside of class. This is a
preparation for those going into a field where confidentiality is stressed in the CEC standards for Professional
Practice.
Disabilities and Special Needs
:
Please inform the instructor within the first week of class if any assistance is required due to disabilities or
special needs. If you have a disability for which you need an accommodation, contact the Learning Center to
request disability support services. Phone: (701)228-5477; Toll free 1(888)918-5623.
Quality of work:
At the college level of learning, it is expected that all work submitted is free of spelling, grammar, and
punctuation errors. Discussion and information must be thought-out, in-depth, and incorporate new
vocabulary and concepts learned during course.
