                  "Academic dishonesty 
                    tarnishes UMD's reputation and discredits the   accomplishments of 
                    students.  UMD is committed to providing students   every possible 
                    opportunity to grow in mind and spirit.  This pledge can   only be 
                    redeemed in an environment of trust, honesty, and fairness.  As   a 
                    result, academic dishonesty is regarded as a serious offense by all   
                    members of the academic community.  In keeping with this ideal, this   
                    course will adhere to UMD's Student Academic Integrity Policy, which   
                    can be found at [http://www.d.umn.edu/conduct/integrity/Academic_Integrity_Policy.htm] .
                    This policy sanctions students engaging in academic dishonesty with 
                    penalties up to and including expulsion from the university for repeat 
                    offenders."

                  The instructor will enforce and students are expected to follow the   University's Student Conduct Code [http://www1.umn.edu/regents/policies/academic/Student_Conduct_Code.html] .
                    Appropriate classroom   conduct promotes an environment of academic 
                    achievement and integrity.   Disruptive classroom behavior that 
                    substantially or repeatedly   interrupts either the instructor's ability
                    to teach, or student   learning, is prohibited. Disruptive behavior 
                    includes inappropriate use   of technology in the classroom. Examples 
                    include ringing cell phones,   text-messaging, watching videos, playing 
                    computer games, doing email,   or surfing the Internet on your computer 
                    instead of note-taking or   other instructor-sanctioned activities."

                  A Note on Extra Credit Papers
                  Failure to comply with the above 
                    codes and standards when submitting an Extra Credit paper will result in
                    a penalty commensurate with the lapse, up to and including an F final grade for the course, and, at a minimum, a reduction in  total 
                    points no fewer than the points available for the Extra Credit project. 
                    The penalty will not simply be a zero for the project, and the 
                    incident will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the 
                    Office of Student and Community Standards.
                   
                  A Note on "Cutting and Pasting" without the Use of Quotation Marks
                    (EVEN IF you have a citation to the source somewhere in your paper)
                  If you use others' words and/or works you MUST so indicate that with the use of quotation marks. Failure to use quotation marks to indicate that the materials are not of your authorship constitutes plagiarism—even if you have a citation to the source elsewhere in your paper/work.
                  Patterned failure to so indicate that the materials are not of your own authorship will result in an F grade for the course.
                  Other instances of improper attribution will result in a 0 (zero) for the assignment (or a reduction in points equal to the value of an Extra Credit paper), and a reduction of one grade in the final grade of the course.
                  All incidents will be reported to the UMD Academic Integrity Officer in the 
                    Office of Student and Community Standards as is required by University Policy.
