HOW TO SUCCEED
College rules for cheating and plagiarism are in effect.
If a student plagiarizes or does not do his/her own work, I immediately
give student an F on the exam, maybe an F in the course and often send student's name
forward with supporting material to be placed in his/her student file. I
also sometimes ask that the Dean of Students meet with student to determine
if further action is necessary.
DO NOT PLAGIARIZE.
