=== Academic Misconduct ===


As a University of Washington student, you are expected to practice high standards of academic honesty and integrity. You are responsible to understand and abide by [http://www.washington.edu/admin/rules/policies/WAC/478-121-107.html UW’s Student Governance Code on Academic Misconduct], and the  [http://www.washington.edu/admin/rules/policies/WAC/478-121-107.html UW’s Administrative Code on Academic Misconduct], and to comply with verbal or written instructions from the professor or TA of this course. This includes plagiarism, which is a serious offense. All assignments will be reviewed for integrity. All rules regarding academic integrity extend to electronic communication and the use of online sources. If you are not sure what constitutes plagiarism, read [https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/589/02/ this overview] in addition to UW’s policy statements.

I am committed to upholding the academic standards of the University of Washington’s Student Conduct Code. If I suspect a student violation of that code, I will first engage in a conversation with that student about my concerns. If we cannot successfully resolve a suspected case of academic misconduct through our conversations, I will refer the situation to the department of communication advising office who can then work with the COM Chair to seek further input and if necessary, move the case up through the College.

While evidence of academic misconduct may result in a lower grade, I will not unilaterally lower a grade without addressing the issue with you first through the process outlined above.
