Maintaining Academic Integrity--ACS Athens Middle School and Academy Academic Integrity Policy--

The ACS Athens Mission Statement obliges us to provide opportunities for all students to “develop a deep sense of integrity and self-esteem.” Few qualities are as important to living a good life as these are. In support of this goal, we are committed to helping students understand and demonstrate the principles of academic integrity on a daily basis.

Simply put, academic integrity means always being honest about your work by avoiding cheating and plagiarism. At ACS Athens, we will consider that academic integrity has been violated and cheating has occurred when you use someone else’s words, work, test or quiz answers, and/or ideas and claim them as your own.

Why is it important to maintain academic integrity?

• We want you to take pride in your honest achievement. • You’ll feel good about yourself when you meet the challenges of your academic

work. It’s hard to feel good about yourself when you take credit for someone else’s work.

• You will develop and maintain a reputation as an honest person. • People’s words, work and/or ideas are considered “intellectual property” – meaning

that their creator owns them. Some types of plagiarism violate not only school rules, but US and European law. Plagiarism is a form of theft. So, too, are other forms of cheating, like copying another’s work on a test.

• Cheating gets in the way of learning. When you pass someone else’s work or ideas off as your own, you are not learning, nor are you practicing the skills that you need to succeed in the university and in the workplace: how to write, analyze, form conclusions and generate new ideas.

• You will learn what you are honestly capable of achieving.

What does cheating look like? (Examples of violations of academic integrity.)

• Copying someone’s homework. • Looking at another’s test, getting unauthorized assistance during a test, sharing

answers with others during a test, letting someone copy your assignment. • Having a parent or a tutor do your homework. • Paying a tutor to write your paper (or complete your college applications) for you. • Letting your parents build your project. • Letting your partner do all the work on a project and just putting your name on

the final product. • Turning in an old project or paper completed by a former student (an older

brother or sister, for example).• Taking a paper directly from the Internet and passing it off as your own. • Copying directly from published works or Internet sites, and/or using someone

else’s words without quoting them and citing the sources of information.• Paraphrasing (rewording) someone’s words and not giving him/her credit for the

ideas or concepts; passing someone’s ideas off as your own. • Using images, charts, graphs, maps, tables and other graphics from published or

Internet sources in your work without citing where you found them.

|ACS Athens ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY

How is cheating discovered?

• New technology Teachers can simply plug a word or phrase from your work into a search engine (such as turnitin.com) and find from where on the Internet an idea or paper has come.

• Teachers love to talk about their students’ accomplishments As they talk about their students’ achievements, they learn about work that students have completed for other classes. Thus, they also learn of instances when friends have submitted another student’s work in another class. You should always check with your teachers to see if original work you have done for one class can also be used in other classes. Teachers also have a good memory for work that has been previously submitted to them.

• Teachers know your writing Teachers know how students write. It doesn’t take much to recognize what was written by a particular student and what was written by someone else.

What are the consequences of violating the Academic Integrity policy?

• Grade of zero on relevant assignment or project and notification of parent. • Referral of NHS members to NHS Committee for appropriate disciplinary action. • Letter on file – which will be shared with members of NHS Committee and

How can you avoid cheating?

• The best way to avoid cheating and plagiarism is to find ways to personalize your assignments. React in writing about how your topic might personally affect you, your family or your community. Let your reader know what you think about your topic and about why it matters to you. An original conclusion, which is supported by facts from other works properly cited is never cheating. Write in your own voice, not just in your own words.

• Organize your work so that you don’t run into a last-minute time crunch that keeps you from studying, writing, creating, revising, reflecting and making your work your own.

• Record where you found your supporting ideas while you do your research – once for finding the information, and again for writing your footnotes and doing the bibliography.

• ALWAYS include a bibliography, list of resources or acknowledgement whenever you use the work or ideas of others. If you can’t provide a citation, don’t use the source.

• Understand that using other’s work is permissible and usually necessary to create well-supported arguments, conclusions and answers to questions. Giving credit to the source of this work keeps it from being plagiarism.

• Make as large a percentage of your work as original as possible. Use direct quotations and paraphrasing only when what you find is written in such a way that it clarifies or makes memorable the idea expressed.

How do you decide when to give credit?

Choosing When to Give Credit

Need to Document No Need to Document

• When you are using or referring to somebody else’s words or ideas from a magazine, book, newspaper, song, TV program, movie, Web page, computer program, letter, advertisement, or any other medium

• When you use information gained through interviewing another person

• When you copy the exact words or a “unique phrase” from somewhere

• When you reprint any diagrams, illustrations, charts, and pictures

• When you use ideas that others have given you in conversations or over email

• When you are writing your own experiences, your own observations, your own insights, your own thoughts, your own conclusions about a subject

• When you are using “common knowledge” - folklore, common sense observations, shared information within your field of study or cultural group

• When you are compiling generally accepted facts

• When you are writing up your own experimental results

Material is probably “common knowledge” if

• You find the same information undocumented in at least five other sources

• You think it is information that your readers will already know

• You think a person could easily find the information with general reference sources

To be sure that you are citing your sources correctly, refer to the section on proper citation formatting in Writer’s, Inc.

How can you avoid plagiarism and make sure you are safe?

Action during the writing process

Appearance on the finished product

When researching, note-taking, and interviewing

• Mark everything that is someone else’s words with a big Q (for quote) or with big quotation marks

• Indicate in your notes which ideas are taken from sources (S) and which are your own insights (ME)

• Record all of the relevant documentation information in your notes

Proofread and check with your notes (or photocopies of sources) to make sure that anything taken from your notes is acknowledged in some combination of the ways listed below:

• In-text citation • Footnotes • Bibliography • Quotation marks • Indirect quotations

When paraphrasing and summarizing

• First, write your paraphrase and summary without looking at the original text, so you rely only on your memory.

• Next, check your version with the original for content, accuracy, and mistakenly bor-rowed phrases

• Begin your summary with a statement giving credit to the source: According to Jonathan Kozol, ...

• Put any unique words or phrases that you cannot change, or do not want to change, in quotation marks: ... “savage inequalities” exist throughout our educational system (Kozol).

When quoting directly • Keep the person’s name near the quote in your notes, and in your paper

• Select those direct quotes that make the most impact in your paper -- too many direct quotes may lessen your credibility and interfere with your style

• Mention the person’s name either at the beginning of the quote, in the middle, or at the end

• Put quotation marks around the text that you are quoting

• Indicate added phrases in brackets ([ ]) and omitted text with ellipses (. . .)

When quoting indirectly

• Keep the person’s name near the text in your notes, and in your paper

• Rewrite the key ideas using different words and sentence structures than the original text

• Mention the person’s name either at the beginning of the information, or in the middle, or at that end

• Double check to make sure that your words and sentence structures are different than the original text

ACS AthENS hoNoR CoDE PRoJECt: PRoMotiNG EthoS, iNtEGRitY AND RESPoNSiBilitYACADEMY EXAMINATION PROTOCOL (for administration of tests, midterms and final exams)Developed by the Faculty-Student Honor Code Committee with input from faculty, students, administration and parents, May 2012

I. WHAT ACTIONS CONSTITUTE MALPRACTICE/CHEATING?

Looking at another’s paper during an exam- Sharing information during an exam- Letting others see your work during an exam- Attempting to communicate with another student during an exam- Having “cheat sheets” in one’s possession during exam- Having class notes, books and study guides on or near one’s desk during an exam (unless teacher indicates that they may be used)- Leaving notes in bathroom or other location- Using electronic devices to store/research information; having electronic devices on one’s person during an exam.- Plagiarism- Presenting false data/fabricated information on lab reports, projects, etc.- Multiple submission of papers (using the same paper/project for another class)- Handing in another student’s assignment or project as your own. - Giving another student your assignment or project to hand in as his/her own. II. EXAMINATION PROCEDURES

• GENERAL:- Students enter exam room with writing utensils & water bottle only (unless calculators or other materials are required).- Book bags, notes, books, electronic devices are left in locker or in front of the exam room, with electronic devices switched off to avoid disrupting exam decorum. • The use of graphing calculators is at teacher’s discretion• Teacher reads exam protocol and reminds students to use rest room before exam begins.- Exam regulations are posted in each class- Student writes and signs a statement at the end of each exam verifying that the work is their own and has not been acquired through actions that constitute as cheating. (“I certify that all work on this exam is my own and that I have upheld the principles of academic integrity in the completion of this work.”)• Students must remain in class for the duration of the exam period.• Use of restrooms: before exam begins/after exam has been com pleted and turned in. In an emergency, students may be escorted to the restroom/nurse by a proctor.- Absences during exams can only be excused for death in the family or illness, which must be verified by a doctor’s note.

• TEACHERS’RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Develop exams/tests that require critical thinking (analysis,

synthesis, evaluation, judgment, speculation, prediction, etc.) Short or long essay responses that require these kinds of thinking are preferable to one-word answers, fill-in-the-blanks, matching questions that require only recall of information. • Design exams/assessment activities that require the amount of time allotted for students to complete them.• May use multiple versions of the test during each class session.• May not use the same exam for multiple sections of the same course.• Arrange for necessary OLP accommodations in advance of the examination.• Provide writing paper to each student. • Reset scientific calculators before the exam begins.• Distribute numbered exam copies directly to each student.• Arrange desks so that the environment is formal, with ample spacing between desks when possible. (If space is tight, request a room reassignment in advance of the exam day.)• Assign seats to students.• Teachers must not leave the classroom during the exam• Teachers must observe the exam process vigilantly • All teachers must report malpractice to Principal regardless of sensitivity toward individual students.

- STUDENTS’RESPONSIBILITIES:

• It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of rules and

expectations for exam protocols, as well as to be aware of proper plagiarism/paraphrasing policies. (Ignorance is not an excuse for cheating or dishonest practices.)• Students should protect their work and make it inconvenient for others to view their exam paper. • Students must not provide answers or assistance to others.• Students must come prepared with writing tools, erasers, sharpen ers, and the like. They cannot ask others to borrow items.• Students must not disrupt examination room decorum in any way. Once the exam begins, silence must be maintained until all students have finished the exam. Students who disrupt exam room decorum will be asked to hand in their exam for grading and to report to the Principal immediately.

III. CONSEQUENCES OF MALPRACTICE/CHEATING

- Students caught cheating are allowed to finish their exam;

however, the time of the violation is documented and any prohibited materials are immediately removed from the students’ possession. (Teacher may require student to take a new seat.) Infraction is immediately reported to the main Office and the incident is dealt with on an individual basis by the Principal.- Report to Principal- Follow actions prescribed in Student/Parent Handbook- Violations documented- Consequences must be applied fairly and consistently.

Emergency Procedures & Exit Maps

Emergency procedures must be posted prominently in each classroom on the

first day of school. Teachers are asked to remind students routinely of expected

behavior during an emergency. Prompt students daily to keep aisles clear of books,

backpacks, etc. In ANY emergency, this is a hazard.

In an emergency evacuation, there should be absolutely no talking. When

evacuation is necessary, teachers are expected to lead their classes in an

orderly fashion in designated areas. Teachers should bring roll books and take

attendance. Teachers are expected to remain with their classes until receiving further

instructions. Teachers should hold up green cards if all students are accounted for;

red card if someone is missing. Administrators will make a round of gathering areas

to check on attendance. Drills must be taken seriously.

Teacher Responsibilities during Evacuations

accompany them to your designated area. Students should also be told on

the first day of school where they will go in case of evacuation from each

classroom they are in.

including the return to your classroom. Don’t forget to take roll and to bring red/

check and signal is given to return to class.

| EARthQuAKE PREPAREDNESSACS Athens

This procedure will be reviewed by principal with entire student body/staff once a

semester.

In case of an earthquake, the following course of action should be taken:

• If indoors, teachers should keep their students inside. While shielding heads with

their hands and elbows, students should move away from windows, shelves, and

heavy objects and furniture that may fall. They should not be under light fixtures

or other suspended objects. In the classroom, students should take cover under

desks, tables, or other heavy furniture.

• Everyone should stay under desks to avoid being hit by falling objects.

• When things seem stabilized, teachers should take their roll books and instruct

students to quietly take their belongings (no going to lockers) and evacuate the

room, going calmly to the pre-designated assembly point.

• If in a hall, stairway, gymnasium or other area where no cover is available, the

students should move to an interior wall. They should turn away from windows,

kneel alongside the wall, bend their heads close to their knees, cover the sides of

their heads with their elbows, and clasp hands firmly behind neck.

• If in the library, the students should immediately move away from windows and

bookshelves and take cover under a desk or a table.

• If in a laboratory or kitchen, all burners should be extinguished (if possible) before

taking cover. Students should stay clear of hazardous chemicals that may spill.

• If in the theater, students should duck and cover and remain in place until the

tremors subside. An uncontrolled, panic-driven exit by the students should be

avoided at all costs!

• If outdoors, students should move to an open space, away from buildings and

overhead power lines. Students should lie down or crouch low to the ground

(since legs will not be steady). Teachers and students should constantly keep an

eye on their surroundings to be aware of dangers that may demand movement.

• If in a school bus or other vehicle, the vehicle should pull over and stop, away

from power lines, bridges, overpasses, and buildings. Students should remain in

their seats and hold on.

DURING AN EMERGENCY: Teachers need to do the following:

• Respond to the specific emergency as prescribed and direct the students in the

appropriate emergency procedures.

• Contact the school, in the event that the emergency occurs during a field trip or

other off-campus school-sponsored activity.

• Give clear, calm instructions to their students during the emergency.

• Remain with the students until released by the emergency team.

• Direct the evacuation of students under their supervision to designated areas

according to signals, warnings, written notifications, or common sense.

• Take roll as soon as conditions allow.

• Report missing students to the administration.

• Assess physical condition of students. Any students requiring first aid should

receive it as soon as conditions allow.

• Keep order.

• Dispel rumors and stay calm. Don’t engage in adding to people’s concerns.
