A. On Exams:
a. wearing a hat or cap
b. looking on another exam or letting someone see your answers.
c. any communication between (among) students.
d. looking at notes, books, cheat sheets, etc., during the exam unless the instructor informs you that the exam is open book or open notes in advance, or allows a formula or "cheat" sheet.
e. taking a copy of the exam out of the room without specific authorization to do so, that is, if the instructor doesn't specifically say one way or another if you may take a copy of the exam. Taking a copy of the exam would constitute cheating.
f. not reporting any cheating you observe.
g. having anything written on clothing, skin, etc., that would give the student an advantage.
a. asking a fellow student who has previously taken an exam anything about the exam other than is it difficult or long.
b. stealing, receiving, or copying any unauthorized copy of the exam.

d. any planning with another to steal an exam even if the plans are not carried out.
1. Copying any answer to assigned questions or problems constitutes cheating unless the project is a group project, and then only from members of your group.
2. Asking or answering any questions concerning the assignment other than the instructor or the instructor's assistant with the exception of the question: When is it due?
3. Allowing someone access to your assignment answers or gaining access to another's assignment answers. It is acceptable to photocopy someone's assignment questions as long as there are no answers.
4. Getting someone else to do any computation or computer work for you or doing it for another, including having someone else do the statistics for you for a paper.
C. Any bribe or threat or hint of an attempt at bribe or threat will be considered cheating,
including something like the following:
1. I will do anything for an A (or B or C etc.) or
2. What can I do to get a better grade? It is acceptable to ask the instructor what you need to work on to improve your performance. Giving unfair aid is as serious as receiving it. Knowing about others cheating without reporting it to the instructor or the instructor's department chairman is also cheating. This does not mean that you cannot seek help from another to understand a concept or even how to work a problem similar to the one you cannot see how to work. Also, though collaboration on assignments is cheating, I wish to encourage you to study together, discuss paper topics, etc.
Penalty for infractions of cheating rules is an F in the course and a recommendation for dismissal from the university.
