Fallacies
A Reminder for Students Who Turn In A Paper They Didn't Write
Don't be surprised when I follow my own policy.
Academic Integrity
College Policy: Students who practice academic dishonesty may be dropped from this course. It is the intent of
Cisco College to foster a spirit of complete honesty and a high standard of integrity. The attempt of students to
present as their own any work they have not honestly performed is regarded by the faculty and administration as
a serious offense and renders the offender liable to serious consequences, possibly suspension.
(Plagiarism is the presentation of another person’s work as your own, whether you intend to or not. Copying or
paraphrasing passages from another writer’s work without acknowledging that you have done so is plagiarism.
Allowing another writer to write any part of your essay is plagiarism.)
