Department Policy on Cheating
Denise White
Denise opened the floor to creating a Department Policy on cheating, based ACC Administrative policy is very vague and left up to the instructor to decide the action for the student. IDEAS Plagiarism vs. Cheating on an Exam: A Difference? Plagiarism: Zero on the assignment the first time?Removal from class the 2nd time F for the Class? Cheating on an Exam/Quiz Immediate recommendation to the department chair that student withdraw from the class? Or, F for class?
Tracie suggested that maybe the faculty should utilize the algo problems for students, but it puts a burden back on the faculty. The Task Force decided that the student shall get a zero for the first assignment and notification to Dean of Student Services. 2ND incident, zero on assignment/or exam and report to dean of student services from the course.
