Cheating & Plagiarism

All students are expected to conduct themselves with a high degree of integrity.  Cheating and plagiarism are not acceptable behaviors at CWCS.  Instances of cheating and plagiarism include but are not limited to: cheat or crib notes, looking at & using other student’s answers or work, copying homework, class work, or tests, and doing another student’s work.  Copying or paraphrasing work from the Internet, book, magazine, newspaper, song or other sources without properly citing sources is prohibited. When using facts that are not generally known, statistical data or copying maps, charts or graphs without using the author’s name and a bibliography is also prohibited. Student papers will be turned into “Turn it in.com” that will instantly identify unoriginal material. Students caught cheating or plagiarizing are subject to an “F” or “Zero” on the assignment or test, an “F” grade for the class, and/or suspension as deemed appropriate by school administration.
