General Information
Academic Dishonesty includes two main categories: cheating and plagiarism. Your teachers frequently run your work through an originality program to ensure that the work you submit is your own. Please review the examples of cheating and plagiarism below. Remember, this is not a complete list. For additional information, be sure to review your signed Honor Code as well as the Arizona Connections Academy Handbook.
Cheating may include (but is not limited to):
*Friends or family helping you on assessments or reviewing your assessments before submission.
*Using notes or study guides on your assessments without prior approval from your teacher.
*Using your textbook/e-texts or lesson pages on assessments
*Using the internet to find the answer to a question
*Giving other students answers to coursework
*Posting assessment questions or answers online
*Using ChatGPT or other AI software
Plagiarism may include (but is not limited to):
*Word-for-word plagiarism: Copying exactly from someone else’s text
*Section-by-section plagiarism: Lifting phrases from someone else’s text and replacing with some of your own words and/or rearranging the ideas.
*Paraphrasing: Using someone else’s ideas as if they were one’s own thoughts
*Taking facts, statistics and other illustrative material from resources without giving credit
