CLASS AGREEMENT

I (______) have read, understand, and agree to follow the

  • course requirements and rules
  • lab report guidelines
  • lab safety procedures as outlined prior to each lab
  • academic honesty policy (in student's Day Planner/Agenda Book; see below)

CVUSD- Academic Dishonesty Policy & How is Applies to Biology

  • Cheating and plagiarism are intolerable and any infringement will result in a zero on that homework, lab, exam, etc. and a referral will be turned in to administration.
  • All work MUST be in your own words even if you and a friend are “discussing it/working together.” This includes homework study questions, labs (ex: conclusion questions), article questions, video questions, etc. If work is either identical or near identical (not completely your own), it is defined as cheating unless I explicitly state that an assignment is to be completed in pairs or groups and one product is to be turned in.
  • Labs are NEVER to be e-mailed to lab partners unless specifically mentioned as allowable.
  • Possible exception for non-IB classes: If a lab was missed due to illness or sports event and a teacher tells you to get the data from another student, then raw data ONLY can be shared (numbers & observations). No other part of the lab can be discussed, shared, or copied. If you are confused about an aspect of the lab make-up, see the teacher.
  • Summary of consequences: 1st infraction at NPHS results in a zero on the assignment and an academic contract; 2nd infraction at NPHS within 2 years results in a drop/fail from that 2nd class)
