Collaborating on individual assignments is considered cheating.

person without proper attribution. Students will be accused of plagiarism if they:
i. Copy in their work one or more sentences from another person without proper
citation.

proper attribution.
iii. Reuse their own assignments, in whole or in part, and submit them for another
class.
 Work responsibly within a working group
In cooperative group assignments, all students are required to stay on task and
contribute equally to the projects. Group reports should clearly state the
contribution of each group member.
Any acts of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of zero for the task at hand and/or
immediate failure of the course, depending on the seriousness of the fraud. Please consult
Hoa Sen University’s Policy on Plagiarism at http://thuvien.hoasen.edu.vn/chinh-sach-
