10 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY I.H. Asper Schl f Business, The University f Manitba It is critical t the reputatin f the I. H. Asper Schl f Business and f ur degrees that everyne assciated with ur faculty behaves with the highest academic integrity. As the faculty that helps create business and gvernment leaders, we have a special bligatin t ensure that ur ethical standards are beynd reprach. Any dishnesty in ur academic transactins vilates this trust. The University f Manitba Graduate Calendar addresses the issue f academic dishnesty under the heading Plagiarism and Cheating. Specifically, acts f academic dishnesty include, but are nt limited t: using the exact wrds f a published r unpublished authr withut qutatin marks and withut referencing the surce f these wrds duplicating a table, graph r diagram, in whle r in part, withut referencing the surce paraphrasing the cnceptual framewrk, research design, interpretatin, r any ther ideas f anther persn, whether written r verbal (e.g., persnal cmmunicatins, ideas frm a verbal presentatin) withut referencing the surce cpying the answers f anther student in any test, examinatin, r take-hme assignment prviding answers t anther student in any test, examinatin, r take-hme assignment taking any unauthrized materials int an examinatin r term test (crib ntes) impersnating anther student r allwing anther persn t impersnate neself fr the purpse f submitting academic wrk r writing any test r examinatin stealing r mutilating library materials accessing tests prir t the time and date f the sitting changing name r answer(s) n a test after that test has been graded and returned submitting the same paper r prtins theref fr mre than ne assignment, withut discussins with the instructrs invlved. Many curses in the I. H. Asper Schl f Business require grup prjects. Students shuld be aware that grup prjects are subject t the same rules regarding academic dishnesty. Because f the unique nature f grup prjects, all grup members must exercise extrardinary care t insure that the grup prject des nt vilate the plicy n Academic Integrity. Shuld a vilatin ccur n a grup prject, all grup members will be held jintly accuntable, n matter what their individual level f invlvement in the specific vilatin. Sme curses, while nt requiring grup prjects, encurage students t wrk tgether in grups (r at least d nt prhibit it) befre submitting individual assignments. Students are encuraged t discuss this issue as it relates t academic integrity with their instructr t avid vilating this plicy. In the I. H. Asper Schl f Business, all suspected cases f academic dishnesty invlving a graduate student (i.e. MBA, MSc r PhD student) will be reprted directly by the instructr t the Dean f the Faculty f Graduate Studies.
