Cheating will not be tolerated. All work MUST be your own or your group's. Check with me PRIOR to accepting outside assistance. University policy states:
When cheating is discovered, the faculty member may give the student an F on the work involved or in the course. If further disciplinary action is deemed appropriate, the student should be reported to the Academic Dean. In addition to being a violation of academic honesty, cheating violates the Code of Student Conduct and may be grounds for probation, suspension, and/or expulsion. Students on disciplinary suspension may not enroll in any courses offered by the University of Southern Mississippi. (2001-2002 Gulf Coast Guide pp.42)
