Academic Integrity:
In accordance with the College of the Desert’s Student Code of Conduct, cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated. Incidents of cheating and/or plagiarism will result in a failing grade on the work and a report filed with the Office of Student Life.
This course is designed to evaluate your individual abilities to perform the tasks assigned, and therefore it is essential that you do your own work in this class and not share your solutions with others. The design and execution of every project that you turn in must be performed entirely by you and you alone. If it is determined that two or more students have shared ideas or solutions or have plagiarized work from another source, disciplinary actions will be taken in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.
Plagiarism is taking credit for the work of someone else...even if the "someone else" isn't human (meaning ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE). This is cheating. The internet offers a wealth of information. There is no problem using the research of others as long as the original author is credited. Canvas provides instructors with tools to determine plagiarism by comparing student work to every document posted on the Internet. So please, do not cut and paste work from the web and claim it as your own. You can cut and paste as long as you put it in quotes and give credit to the original author.
Use of ChatGPT or other AI services will be considered plagiarism.
