In light of today’s class discussion about whether or not it was right for a student to submit a previously written paper in another class, I thought I’d note that Baruch’s academic honesty policy forbids this practice:
Cheating is the attempted or unauthorized use of materials, information, notes, study aids, devices or communication during an academic exercise. Examples include:
- Copying from another student during an examination or allowing another to copy your work.
- Unauthorized collaborating on a take home assignment or examination.
- Using unauthorized notes during a closed book examination.
- Taking an examination for another student.
- Asking or allowing another student to take an examination for you.
- Changing a corrected exam and returning it for more credit.
- Submitting substantial portions of the same paper to two classes without consulting the second instructor.
- Preparing answers or writing notes in a blue book (exam booklet) before an examination.
- Allowing others to research and write assigned papers including the use of commercial term paper services.
