NOTE
FROM MARY D-HONOR CODE ISSUES As we head into exams and the last month of the semester, I will remind students of SOM Graduate Honor Code. “The relationship between instructors and students requires cooperation and trust in maintaining the ideals and spirit of an honor code. Academic and community violations will be referred to the Simmons College Honor Board. The following are the major academic violations of the honor code: CHEATING: This includes copying others’ work, collaborating without authorization, using cribnotes or other unauthorized source materials during examinations, accessing and using others’ computer files without authorization, and violations of the specific regulations of the instructor. PLAGIARIZING: This is defined as intentionally or unintentionally using someone else’s work, works, thoughts, or ideas without giving proper credit. When a source is not cited, it is assumed that the works, work, thoughts, or ideas are the sole product of the author, i.e., the student. Plagiarizing includes handing in as one’s own work a paper on which a student has received extensive aid with substance and/or structure without acknowledging that help, as well as using one paper for more than one course without authorization to do so. Material used from outside readings, reference, or the like, must be noted by using footnotes, endnotes, or whatever notation devices are appropriate for the field of study. Direct quotations must be differentiated from the text by using quotation marks or using single-space indentation. Integrity and honesty in the performance of all assignments and examinations both in the classroom and outside are essential. A student who cheats or submits work which is not her own violates the principle of high standards and jeopardizes her right to continue in the Simmons MBA Program.” Leadership
