Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.
One serious kind of academic misconduct is plagiarism, which occurs when a writer, speaker, Youtuber, artist, or designer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, images, or other original material or code without fully acknowledging the source of that content via quotes, footnotes or endnotes, in works cited pages, and/or in other ways as appropriate (modified from WPA Statement on “Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism”). If you engage in plagiarism or any other form of academic misconduct, you will fail the assignment (with a 0%) in which you have engaged in academic misconduct and be referred to the Office of Student Integrity, as required by Georgia Tech policy. We strongly urge you to be familiar with these Georgia Tech sites:
- Honor Challenge — http://osi.gatech.edu/content/honor-code
- Office of Student Integrity — http://www.osi.gatech.edu/index.php/
Copyright and Attribution: When incorporating images or video into your work be sure to properly cite the source, even if it’s in the public domain. You should not use material for which the copyright holder reserves all rights. You can adjust your search settings to account for attribution in your search engine. It may be useful to search for media through Creative Commons.
The Final Portfolio: Any editing of the portfolio after the submission deadline will be considered a violation of the Georgia Tech Honor Code and may be referred to the Office of Student Integrity.
