All Honest and Original Work Honor Code for English I

We will insist on completely honest and original work in this class. When you are given an assignment as an individual, the work must be your own. Each student will be required to produce work that is free from plagiarism or cheating as described below:

Plagiarism:

a.  Submitting a paper, examination, or other assignment as one’s own when it was written or created by another.

b.  Verbatim copying of portions of another’s writing without proper notation and acknowledgment of the source in an accepted scholarly format.

c.  Paraphrasing or restating someone else’s ideas without proper acknowledgment of such text.

d.  Falsely citing a source or attributing work to a source from which the referenced material was not obtained.

e.  Fabricating or altering data.

Cheating:

a.  Giving/receiving/using unauthorized aid (from printed/online sources or individuals) on in-class or take home examinations.

b.  Giving/receiving/using unauthorized aid (from printed/online sources or individuals) on class work, in the preparation of reports, or in any other work that is to be used by the teacher as the basis of grading. If approved by the teacher, group study/peer collaboration may be acceptable.

Penalties for incidences of plagiarism or cheating will include:

1.  A grade of zero for the assignment, which is in accordance with Anderson English Department policy.

2.  Parent(s) or guardian(s) will be contacted.

3.  Proper disciplinary procedures as established by the Anderson High School Handbook will be followed.

This year, the English I classes will use www.turnitin.com. This is a web site designed to prevent plagiarism. Students will be asked to submit their papers to this web site by an assigned date. If a paper is not submitted to this site, it will not be graded.
