As faculty, we are committed to providing quality education both online and in the classroom. Likewise, academic ethics apply regardless of the delivery method of the course. 然而, in the interest of being specific, the following behaviors are generally not allowed and constitute academic dishonesty:

- Cheating on course assignments and assessments – Any attempt to circumvent the integrity of the grading system constitutes cheating. This includes use of resources that are not allowed (e.g. notes, calculators, books), assistance from other people (e.g. friends, parents, classmates, spouses). Your grade should reflect what you know – if it does not, you may have cheated. If you have questions about whether or not an action or resource is allowable, contact your instructor BEFORE you engage in the behavior.
- 勾结 – any agreement or understanding to work as a group, unless specifically allowed by the instructor, 是一种欺骗吗. Providing assistance to others by allowing them to copy work, or answering questions collaboratively when not allowed to do so is cheating. All individuals involved are guilty of collusion.

This list is not comprehensive but provides examples of unethical behavior. If you have questions about what is allowable, contact your instructor with enough time to allow them to respond.
