Student Academic Honesty

Student Academic Honesty

This institution promotes honesty and integrity. This module provides the
violations and appropriate sanctions for each.
. STUDENT ACADEMIC HONESTY 

The following acts are considered violations of student academic honesty and
are therefore meted with appropriate sanctions:
1. Cheating - the fraudulent or dishonest presentation of work or
presentation of others’ work as one’s own. It includes using or
attempting to use unauthorized materials, information or study aids
in any academic exercise.
a. LMS activities are logged and therefore can be reviewed
anytime. Suspicious activities in an account may raise red flags
and thus may warrant investigation from the academic and
technical unit of AMAOEd.
2. Plagiarism - the act of taking the words, ideas, data, illustrations or
statements of another person or source and presenting them as one’s
own. Including but not limited to:
a. Submitting another author’s published or unpublished work, in
whole, in part, or in paraphrase, as one’s own work, without
fully and properly crediting the other with footnotes, citations
or other bibliographical reference. 

b. Submitting as one’s own original work any material, including
data, tables, graphs, charts, or other visual material obtained
from any source, without acknowledgement and citation of the
source. 

c. Submitting as one’s own original work material produced
through unacknowledged collaboration with others, unless
such collaboration is permitted by the instructor. 

3. Collusion - assistance or an attempt to assist another student in an act
of academic dishonesty. This can conclude, but is not limited: 

a. doing work for another student

b. designing or producing a project for another student; willfully
providing answers during an exam, test, or quiz; 

c. calling a student on a mobile phone while taking an exam and
providing information;
4. Inappropriate Proxy- is the misinterpretation of one’s own or
another’s identity for academic purposes. Students must attend their
own classes in the LMS and be the one taking all examinations. Those
impersonated and impersonators will be suspended or dismissed
from the AMAU OEd.
