Course Expectations & Guidelines

Academic Integrity

Georgia Tech aims to cultivate a community based on trust, academic integrity, and honor. Students are expected to act according to the highest ethical standards.  For information on Georgia Tech's Academic Honor Code, please visit http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/policies/honor-code/ or http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/rules/18/.

Any student suspected of cheating or plagiarizing on a quiz, exam, or assignment will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity, who will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty for violations.

Due to the fact that this is a course delivered in French, with writing assignments in French, the use of translation software or websites is considered plagiarism. Plugging in sentences written in English and then using the translation given in an assignment or assessment is not your own work. I will not grade student writing that is simply an algorithmic translation of their writing from English, whether or not the ideas are their own. The first time the student is suspected of writing in translation, they will be expected to rewrite and resubmit their work. Any subsequent assignments written this way will receive a grade of zero. Online dictionaries are permitted. If students have any questions about specific websites or methods that are permissible, I am happy to answer them. 

Examples of breaches of academic integrity in this class include but are not limited to: 

  1. Using a machine translator such as Google Translate, Reverso, or any other machine translator in any way to complete assignments
  2. Using unauthorized material (cheat sheets, answer keys, etc.) on examinations and other assignments
  3. Improper collaboration (for example working with a partner to divide the work in half and copying each other’s half)
  4. Submitting the same assignment for different classes
  5. Having someone else do or write your assignments for you
  6. Having a more advanced French speaker (including other students of French or native speakers) proofread your compositions.
  7. Submitting plagiarized work
  8. Fabricating, forging, or altering documents or lying in order to obtain academic advantage

Academic honesty/integrity statement:

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, or designer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, images, or other original material or code without fully acknowledging its source by quotation marks as appropriate, in footnotes or endnotes, in works cited, and 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 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:
