Study Aids - Plagiarism and Academic Conduct This page and the linked pages explain the standards of conduct and study expected of students in Prof. Hadden's classes. In general, students are expected to behave in class in a manner which shows respect to all members of the class, not just the instructor. A certain level of politeness is just as necessary as curiousity in the learning process. Open-mindedness is also important, since it facilitates learning effectively. During class discussion, students will be expected to have more than just their opinion: they will be expected to be able to make an argument, using evidence and logic to support their viewpoint. The links below are to help students understand issues of academic dishonesty and the problem of plagiarism in particular. To be absolutely clear: academic dishonesty and cheating in any form will not be tolerated in Hadden's classes. Please read the information below carefully.

FSU Academic Policy: All assignments submitted at Florida State University are bound by the Academic Honor Code printed in the back of the Student Handbook . Under the Honor Code, it is the responsibility of each student to complete all assignments according to the requirements set by the instructor and to submit only work that is his or her own. You are responsable for making yourself aware of and understanding the Academic Honor Code. Students are also responsible for knowing the FSU History Department Statement on Plagiarism and Fraud in Prof. Hadden's classes. You should consult with me if you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty prior to the submission of an assignment or test. Plagiarism and Cheating defined : Here are some basic definitions of plagiarism and cheating. These definitions are for your information only--they do not substitute for knowing the FSU Student Academic Code, found in the Catalogue or the FSU History Department Policy. Know your rights and responsibilities! Plagiarism--To represent written work taken from another source as one's own is plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious offense. The academic work of a student must be his/her own. One must give any author credit for source material borrowed from him/her. To lift content directly from a source without giving credit is a flagrant act. To present a borrowed passage without reference to the source after having changed a few words is also plagiarism. Cheating--No student shall receive or give assistance not authorized by the instructor in taking an examination or in the preparation of a paper or other assignment which is submitted for purposes of grade determination. Students who wish to avoid plagiarism should read the related pages of this site about citation and reading primary and secondary sources, as well as the History Department Policy. Graduate Students should also read the AHA Statement on Plagiarism. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to use a system of notes and bibliography consistently in your papers that give credit to others for their ideas and which refer explicit to the sources used in constructing the paper.
