政策

明尼苏达州 Community and Technical College expects all students to represent themselves with integrity. In academic work, students are expected to present their original ideas, 思路, 图片, 直接报价, 摘要, 观点, and to give credit for the ideas of others.

When an instructor has convincing evidence of cheating or plagiarism, the instructor has a variety of options, which may include the following academic outcomes (this list is not exhaustive and the instructor is not obligated to offer any of these options):

• A failing grade may be assigned for the course in which the student cheated.
• The course or assignment grade may be reduced.
• The assignment may be given a zero.
• The individual item on the assignment may be given a zero.
• The student may be required to re-submit the assignment.
• The student may be required to submit an alternative assignment that meets the same learning outcomes.

The instructor shall report the incident of cheating/plagiarism and the academic outcome to the appropriate school dean in instances where a failing grade in a course is given solely due to academic dishonesty. The instructor may also choose to report the incident of academic dishonesty and the academic outcome to the appropriate school dean for other cases, at the instructor’s discretion.

如果老师, dean or any other person feels the seriousness of the offense warrants additional action, the incident may also be reported to the dean of students, who will determine any relevant student conduct outcome.
