"As a member of Dr.
Waddle's class, I will not lie, cheat, or steal."
Now that you are aware of the Honor Code, what
does it really mean? Let's look at each part.
Lying is making a self-serving statement
that one knows is false.
Cheating is giving aid to a student or
receiving aid on tests, quizzes, assignments, or examinations without the
consent of the teacher. Cheating also includes plagiarism, which may be
described as taking the ideas from the writing of another person and passing
them off as if they were the student's own. Remember to acknowledge your sources
when you write papers requiring research. This includes acknowledging
information gained through the use of electronic media.
Stealing is taking or appropriating
another person's property or the School's property without permission. Stealing
should not be confused with borrowing. Borrowing is the taking or receiving of
an item with a clear understanding between the borrower and owner of the
condition under which the item will be returned or replaced. Never assume that
it is acceptable to take anything without express permission from the owner.
