2.3.3.1. Cheating can take many forms. Examples include the use of crib notes, submitting someone else’s work as your own, plagiarism, and receiving help but not documenting. The submission of undocumented work clearly implies it is the product of your own words or ideas, and you have not used this work for credit before. If you are unsure of a course policy, or what type of collaboration is allowed, clarify the matter with your instructor. If doubt exists, explain the situation to your instructor. This will allow you to exercise the responsibility and prudence expected of an honorable person, and there will be no deception.
