Cheating

Academic policies define cheating as getting or receiving unauthorized help on an assignment, quiz, or examination. Thus, plagiarizing; obtaining answers, information, or help from another student; using unauthorized sources for answers during an exam; and obtaining exam questions before an exam and using them are all cheating.   The remainder of the tutorial will focus primarily on identifying and avoiding plagiarism, but you should be aware of what constitutes cheating and then avoid even the appearance of impropriety in this regard.
