REMINDER: ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Students are held to a high standard where academic honesty and integrity are expected in their school behavior and on every assignment.

Examples of plagiarism include

Copying someone else's assignment,

Giving one's own work to someone to copy,

Looking at another person's paper or Chromebook during an assessment,

Copying material from a book without using quotation marks or a citation,

Submitting AI-only created work, like Chatgpt.


Consequences at Crocker for plagiarism or cheating can include
