What is the deal with Academic Honesty and Academic Dishonesty?
Those of us who have taught for a long time and new instructors realize that Academic Honesty is a critical issue here at UGA. We will remind you all on a regular basis, but it is your responsibility to conform to the Academic Honesty policies of The University. Among other things, that means that you cannot copy anyone else’s work; you cannot give someone your work to copy; you cannot lie about when you completed an assignment; you cannot lie about the reason for taking an exam later or a makeup exam; you cannot copy exam answers from others; you cannot give anyone else exam answers; you canot presume that group work is appropriate unless it is specifically stated in the assignment or announced in class; you cannot put a group’s nonperformer’s name on an assignment for credit when he or she clearly did not do any of the work on a group project.
