Examination make-up will be given within three lectures after returning from the activity only if the prior notice was given.
 

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT: "Academic Misconduct is a Code A violation of the Ohio University Student Code of Conduct. Academic Misconduct refers to dishonesty in examinations (cheating), presenting the ideas or the writing of someone else as one's own (plagiarism), or knowingly furnishing false information to the University."[1] If you are found to be involved in academic misconduct, you will receive zero credit on the work in question and the case may be referred to the Director of Judiciaries with a possible sanction of suspension or expulsion.

PLAGIARISM: Examples of plagiarism include [2]:

1.  "Reproducing another person's work, whether published or unpublished."
2. "Submitting as your own any academic exercise prepared totally or in part by another."
3. "Allowing another person to substantially alter or revise your work and submitting as your own."
4. "Using another's written ideas or words without properly acknowledging the source. If a student uses the words of someone else, he or she must put quotation marks around the passage and add indication of its origin, such as a footnote. Simply changing a word or two while leaving the organization and content substantially intact and failing to cite the source is plagiarism"

If you are unsure about what constitutes plagiarism and/or how to properly acknowledge a source, you must see the course professor before submitting your materials.
