For this class, we will follow FOUR academic integrity policies: the college’s the department’s and our own class’s.

  1. See the university’s academic integrity policy here.
  2. See the college’s academic integrity policy on the syllabus page.
  3. Review the Math Department’s academic integrity policy from Spring 2020 here.
  4. Here, we outline our own class-specific Academic Integrity Policy.

Academic honesty class policy

Any work you submit must be your own. All work must be shown and supported.

You may consult your notes, text, and course hub to complete WeBWorK assignments and projects. You may not use automated problem solvers, problem-solving websites of any kind, including artificial intelligence and chatbots. Rules for in-class assessments will be announced in class.

You may work together or with a CityTech tutor on homework assignments but you may not work with anyone else during a test.

If any of your work suggests outside help or collaboration, you will receive an automatic zero for that assignment and a report will be filed with the college’s Academic Integrity Committee. If you want to dispute this grade, you must make an appointment to discuss it with your instructor.  It will be your responsibility to convince your instructor it’s your work and only your work. This will be your one warning.

If you have already been warned and you submit work that suggests outside help or collaboration, you will receive an automatic failing grade for the course and a report will be filed with the college’s Academic Integrity Committee.

Remark: The word suggests is emphasized above. This is to indicate, for example, that if you make notes using an outside source and then use these notes to complete an assessment, you may be found in violation of the academic integrity policy.
