The UNB – Humber Student handbook can be found on the Blackboard site. It is also the Student’s responsibility to be aware of the UNB Academic Regulations http://www.unb.ca/academics/calendar/undergraduate/2013/) Turnitin, an electronic plagiarism detection service, will be used for the submission of papers. Details of how to submit your paper will be provided in Week 1. Students who do not want their work submitted to this service must, by the end of the second Week of class, consult with the instructor to make alternate arrangements. When an instructor has reason to suspect that an individual piece of work has been plagiarized, the instructor shall be permitted to submit that work to any plagiarism detection service. Use of Turnitin is intended to support the Student’s learning by offering an opportunity for Students to review their assignments for appropriate citation of sources prior to submitting the assignment. Students should be aware that their assignments are added to the Turnitin software pool of documents. Academic Integrity Academic integrity is essentially honesty in all academic endeavors. Academic integrity requires that students avoid all forms of academic misconduct or dishonesty, including plagiarism, cheating on tests or exams or any misrepresentation of academic accomplishment. The University of New Brunswick places a high value on academic integrity and has a policy on plagiarism, cheating and other academic offences. Plagiarism includes: 1. quoting verbatim or almost verbatim from any source, including all electronic sources, without acknowledgement; 2. adopting someone else’s line of thought, argument, arrangement, or supporting evidence without acknowledgement; 3. submitting someone else’s work, in whatever form without acknowledgement; 4. knowingly representing as one’s own work any idea of another. Examples of other academic offences include: cheating on exams, tests, assignments or reports; impersonating somebody at a test or exam; obtaining an exam, test or other course materials through theft, collusion, purchase or other improper manner, submitting course work that is identical or substantially similar to work that has been submitted from another course; and more as set out in the academic regulations found in the Undergraduate Calendar. Penalties for plagiarism and other academic offences range from a minimum of F (zero) in the assignment, exam or test to a maximum of suspension or expulsion from the University, plus a notation of the academic offence on the Student’s transcript.
