Definitions

澳门威尼斯人在线赌场承认以下定义反映了西方的、主导的、规范的 academic standards. 作为学院反种族主义工作的一部分,澳门威尼斯人在线赌场致力于 considering and are mindful of diverse perspectives and experiences that may not align with these traditional, western interpretations. This will be considered as alleged violations of this policy are addressed.

Academic Integrity:

作为澳门威尼斯人在线赌场的五大核心价值观之一,诚信包括 the practice of inclusion, honesty, transparency, fairness, compassion and follow-through in all that we do. 学术诚信是教职员工、 administration, and students to uphold this fundamental value of the institution while maintaining accessibility standards. The following are examples of violations of academic integrity:

Plagiarism:

剽窃是最常见的违反学术诚信的行为之一. It is the intentional act of incorporating someone else's words, ideas, images, data, or other works without giving attribution to the original author or source. Key to the definition and recognition 抄袭是故意的(例如:将文本或其他媒体应用于……) course assignments without accurate citation to the original author or source; or purchasing and submitting papers from an online source). Expectations related to conventions 文件和归属可能因学科、课程和个人而异 classes. 自我抄袭也是违反学术诚信的学生所在 在不披露的情况下将自己的材料提交给多个课程或作业 或者在没有得到老师许可的情况下.

  1. Misuse of Sources vs. Plagiarism: An important distinction It is important to make the distinction between, and recognize instances of, misuse of sources versus plagiarism. As above, plagiarism is the intentional use of the work of others, presented as one’s own. Misuse of sources must not be conflated with plagiarism. 误用资源的学生是由多种因素造成的 including cultural perspective; misunderstanding of their role in research-based-writing; lack of prior consistency, support, or practice; or lack of confidence. Examples of misuse of sources include an overreliance on source text in their own work, including “patch” writing (when paraphrasing falls too close to the original words of a source); or failure to cite correctly or appropriately. Misuse of sources must be treated as 这是一次教学机会,而不是对学术诚信的侵犯. Please see the Council of Writing Program Administrators statement on best practices regarding plagiarism and misuse of sources.
Cheating:

Cheating is an intentional disregard of instructions to gain unearned advantage during a formal academic assessment or activity. Examples of cheating may include but are not limited to continuing to write after the exam time has ended; submitting work performed by others; promoting the work of another source or individual as your own; allowing another person to copy your work; or using unauthorized materials to assist 你的工作(比如生成式人工智能). Additionally, helping 另一名学生或在考试、测验中接受他人未经批准的帮助, 作业,或考试,和项目,没有导师的明确许可可能 also be considered cheating.

Enabling a breach of academic integrity:

Knowingly or negligently engaging in behavior that assists another student in a violation of academic integrity.

Alteration of grading or testing conditions:

损害等级和/或测试环境,或特定的测试条件; 禁止为自己和/或他人创造不公平的优势. Examples include tampering with grades; taking part in obtaining or disturbing any part of an exam prior to the scheduled testing time; falsification of documentation or information submitted to the college; or selling or giving away test answers and changing or altering a grade on a test or in a gradebook.

Unauthorized use of materials or content:

损害等级和/或测试环境,或特定的测试条件; 禁止为自己和/或他人创造不公平的优势. Examples include tampering with grades; taking part in obtaining or disturbing any part of an exam prior to the scheduled testing time; falsification of documentation or information submitted to the college; or selling or giving away test answers and changing or altering a grade on a test or in a gradebook.

Fabrication and falsification:

捏造或伪造结果或研究数据. Using fabricated data, information, 或在课堂作业或考试中使用未经授权的材料. Falsification includes providing 错误地描述行为和经历的文件. For example, providing false documentation of having attended an event in order to get extra credit, or providing false documentation of completion of service learning, clinical, or other field experience.

不合格:不遵守学术或专业标准:

未能遵守适用于特定职业的道德标准; clinical or internship site, which the student has agreed to abide by as part of their course of studies. 例如,NSPE工程师道德规范说明了期望 that individuals will "Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public". 同样,提交伪造的临床日志或伪造临床站点联系人 signature or knowingly are also examples that violate professional and ethical standards of a clinical site.

Sabotage:

故意隐瞒信息,破坏其他学生的作业,或者 damaging course materials so as to create an academic disadvantage for another individual.

Generative Artificial Intelligence:

References to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this policy refer to Generative Artificial Intelligence. 生成式人工智能(gAI)是指能够生成的人工智能 从现有内容(包括文本、音频文件或图像)构建的新颖内容. Academic Integrity must acknowledge the continued growth and sophistication of artificial 智能(AI),特别是生成式人工智能. Students (and 澳门威尼斯人在线赌场校园社区的其他成员)正在使用gAI,娱乐,学术, 专业方面,从Microsoft 365 Copilot, dell - e到ChatGPT. Generative AI is not going away, nor is our students’, or our, use of it. Currently, as a campus, we have yet to fully understand the implications of gAI in student work, and in the context of academic integrity. 这不像制定一项学术诚信政策那么简单 about it, or worse, against it. We are likely going to have to rethink our goals for our students, and the kinds of work we assign them to meet those goals, to both leverage gAI as a tool of learning and creativity, and to reduce their reliance on it in favor of continuing skill development as writers, and as users and producers of information. Creating a culture of academic integrity, as a feature of instruction, as an opportunity 为了公平和包容,也因为对动态世界的动态回应需要 澳门威尼斯人在线赌场每个人都有责任为这一巨变做出贡献并加以推动.
