Assignment:
The primary purpose of the case assignment is to allow you to apply principles learned in
class to a real world problem. The case is due the week before the Exam 2. Case format
and analysis will be discussed in detail in class.
Working Together:
You are encouraged to work together in how to use computers and applications. Each
student, however, is expected to do his or her own work for the assignment. Copying
another student's work (computer files) is scholastic dishonesty (see below) and will
be dealt with accordingly.
Scholastic Dishonesty:
The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility with respect to academic
honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of
the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student maintains a high
standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but
is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the
award of a degree, and/or the submission as one's own work of material that is not one's
own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating,
plagiarism, collusion, and/or falsifying academic records. Students suspected of academic
dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings. Specifically, copying another student's
computer files or buying assignments from a 3rd party could result in a grade of F and/or
expulsion from the University.
