Program Standards -All Graduate Music Programs A. Academic Standards 1. Academic Honesty (excerpted from the policy adopted by Temple University in 1990) - The students and faculty of Temple University are working together in a common endeavor: to seek the truth, to discover the truth, to speak and publish the truth. It is an ancient and honorable endeavor to which teachers and students have dedicated themselves since time immemorial. Out of this long history of dedication to the truth has grown a specific set of requirements governing the ways in which we behave toward one another in the classroom and in which we may use one another's thoughts, words, ideas, and published research. The most important rules are self-evident and follow inevitably from a respect for the truth. We must not take credit for research, for ideas, or for words which are not our own. We must not falsify data or results of research. We must not present any work under false pretenses. In order to be sure that we do not violate these principles, we must learn some specific rules. We must understand exactly what is meant by the three major types of academic dishonesty: plagiarism, violating the rules of an assignment, and cheating on an examination. Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another person's labor; another person's ideas, words, or assistance. Violating the rules of an assignment takes place when a student thwarts or breaks the general rules of academic work and/or the specific rules of an individual course. This includes falsifying data, submitting - without the instructor's approval - work in one course which was done for another, helping others to plagiarize or cheat from one's own or someone else's work, or actually doing the work of another person. Cheating on an examination can include obtaining help from another person during an examination (with or without that person's knowledge), using notes or other written aids for a "closed book" examination, or obtaining help from others for a "take home" examination. The penalty for dishonesty can vary from a reprimand and a failing grade for a particular assignment, to failure for the course, to expulsion from the University. The penalty varies with the nature of the offense, the individual instructor, the department, and the school or college. |
