This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding any behavior that distracts their classmates or instructor from the subject matter or discussion during the full class period. It is expected that, as current and future educators, all students will behave professionally. This includes being punctual, appropriately dressed, using correct language, refraining from unnecessary cell phone and/or computer use, and being respectful of the opinions of others. In the event that this behavior is not demonstrated, the overall learning environment may be compromised and, therefore, students will be referred to the Student Faculty Disciplinary Committee. Students are also encouraged to read the Wor-Wic Community College Cheating and Plagiarism Policy (on page 11 of this document). This policy will be enforced by your Professor with no exceptions.

Documented evidence of the plagiarism or cheating will be kept in the Human Services Department Office. Plagiarism: In both oral and written communication, the following guidelines for avoiding plagiarism must be followed: 1. Any words quoted directly from a source must be in quotation marks and cited. 2. Any paraphrasing or rephrasing of the words and/or ideas of a source must be cited. 3. Any ideas or examples derived from a source that are not in the public domain or of general knowledge must be cited. 4. All papers and presentations must be the student s own work. Any student found violating any of the above guidelines for avoiding plagiarism will receive an automatic 0" for the assignment and then the matter will be turned to the Student Disciplinary Committee. Documented evidence of the plagiarism will be kept in the General Education office.

13 Child Health, Safety & Nutrition/Spring E There are ambiguities in concepts of plagiarism. Each instructor will be available for consultation regarding any confusion a student may have.
