Academic Integrity

Please note that violations of the Code of Student Conduct  will not be tolerated in this class or at N.C. State University. This includes (but is not limited to):

  • Looking at someone else’s paper during an exam.
  • Allowing someone else to look at your paper during an exam.
  • Using notes or other information during an exam.

To minimize temptation, the following rules will be in effect during lecture exams:

  1. You may have nothing on top of your desk except something to write with. All books, daypacks, notebooks, etc. must be stored under your seat.
  2. All loose paper needs to be inside your daypack or notebook; no loose papers may be on top of the materials that are stored under your seat. NOTE: It is an academic integrity violation for papers to be visible; whether or not a student actually looks at them is not relevant.  If you see any visible papers during an exam, please raise your hand to alert Dr. Moore so she can have the student put them away.
  3. You may not wear any of the following during an exam: hat, sunglasses, headphones, earbuds.
  4. No talking, texting, or other forms of communication will be allowed during exams.
  5. Please use the restroom before beginning the exam.  In an emergency situation where a student has to use the restroom during an exam, the student must empty the contents of his or her pockets onto the front desk before being escorted to the restroom by a Teaching Assistant.  A student who leaves the room without following this protocol has finished the exam, and it will be collected from his or her seat.

Honor Pledge

When a student puts his or her name on an exam, the student affirms that he/she did not give or receive unauthorized aid on the exam.  Each exam will include an academic integrity statement the student must sign.

In the event of suspected problems, rules from N.C. State University’s Code of Student Conduct and Regulations will be followed. They can be found on the web at: http://policies.ncsu.edu/policy/pol-11-35-01

Please note that it is my duty as an instructor to report all Academic Integrity violations.
