Honor Policy—Cheating and Plagiarism:

If you do the work of this class on your own, you’ll develop skills that will serve you well for the rest of your life. If you cheat, you’ll get no such benefit and you’ll receive a 0 on the work in question, and your parents/guardian will be informed of your actions. You'll also violate my trust in you, and you’ll lose my respect, and since trust and respect are two things that I believe we all value very highly, I'll be deeply disappointed in you. When you take other people’s work and hold it out to be your own (whether another student’s work or something taken from the Internet), you are engaging in theft. Plagiarism won’t be tolerated. Plagiarism will result in a 0 on the work in question. In addition, Midwood will be announcing a school-wide plagiarism code in coming days that will include severe penalties for plagiarism.
