Policy on academic integrity.

While you are encouraged to work on labs together, you must do the write-up on your own. To be more specific, you are welcome to discuss anything regarding the labs with your classmates and your TA, but you must write up your lab IN YOUR OWN WORDS, using DATA THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED YOURSELF.

Copying the work of another person and turning it in as your own violates section  22.21.12.13.  of the Student Conduct and Discipline, which can be found at http://ugr8.ucsd.edu/judicial/22_00.html.

The following acts are considered plagiarism:

1.     Copying any part of somebody else’s explanations and turning them in as your own.

2.     Copying any part of data obtained by somebody else and turning it in as your own.

3.     Turning in a copy of any part of a lab write-up produced by somebody else as your own, whether that copy was produced  by means of software, a scanner or a photo-copier.

Plagiarizing will result in the following actions:

First offense: All parties involved will receive a 0 on that lab assignment, regardless of who actually wrote up the lab.

Second offense: All parties involved will receive a 0 for all the lab assignments for the course and their names will be reported to the Dean(s) of their college(s), regardless of who actually wrote up the lab. This action is in accordance with the rules of the U.C.S.D. Academic Senate concerning the integrity of scholarship which can be found at http://www-senate.ucsd.edu/manual/APPENDIX_SDD.HTML#APX20.
