               Academic Misconduct
               The University has a policy on academic misconduct that will be enforced. Academic misconduct
               takes many forms and includes, but is not limited to plagiarism, submitting a product prepared in
               whole or in part by another person, buying or selling term papers, and submitting the same piece of
               work twice for academic credit. For more details, you are encouraged to consult or the University
               calendar section 6.12.

               University Policy on Plagiarism
               The  implications  of  plagiarism  are  extremely  serious;  there  will  be  checks  in  place  for  plagiarism
               throughout the course. All students in this class are to read and understand the policies on plagiarism
               and  academic  honesty  referenced  in  the  University  Calendar,  Section  4.11.4  Academic  Offences,
               available at http://www.mun.ca/regoff/calendar/sectionNo=regs-0748. Ignorance of such policies
               is no excuse for violations. I will review this policy during the first week of classes. CHH also has its
               own plagiarism policy which can be viewed here
