3.9. Academic Honesty
Overview
All TN eCampus courses are expected to promote high standards of honesty and integrity. As the instructor, you have an important role in supporting expectations for academic honesty. Academic honesty conduct violations include, but are not limited to:
- An attempt by one or more students to use unauthorized information in the taking of an exam, to submit as one's own work, themes, reports, drawings, laboratory notes, computer programs
- Products prepared by another person or to knowingly assist another student in obtaining or using unauthorized materials.
- Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited.
- Academic Self-Plagiarism, also known as, “double-dipping,” occurs when a student submits a whole paper or a substantial portion of a paper to fulfill a course requirement, even though that paper had been submitted earlier to satisfy the requirements for another course taught by a different professor without consent from both professors.
- Additionally, students guilty of academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly, are immediately responsible to their instructor and institution for possible disciplinary sanctions, failing grades, or failing the course.
