You’ve selected your topic, done the research, and have evaluated the information and chosen the information sources you’ll be using for your project, be it a paper, oral presentation or other type of academic project. Now it’s time to USE your information. This chapter of OASIS will cover topics related to the ethical use of information in an academic setting. On a college campus, the ethical use of information is related to Academic Honesty. A few common examples of issues related to academic honesty include cheating on tests, copying homework without permission, the misuse of sources in a paper or presentation, and plagiarism. At California
State University, Chico
Academic Honesty is discussed on page 47 of the University Catalog
from the Office of Student Judicial Affairs. |

Faculty expect students
to maintain a high standard of
academic integrity.
If you are unclear about a specific situation,
ask your instructors.
They will explain what is is not and
acceptable in their
classes. If a student is thought to be cheating and charges are brought, the process can result in severe consequences, ranging from failure in an individual course to long-term suspension from the university and denial of a degree. Academic dishonesty, generally, is taking credit for work which is not your own or attempting to receive credit or improve a grade through fraudulent or deceptive means. Examples include taking information from or providing information to another student, plagiarism, or altering a grade or record. |
