Why Documentation Matters:
CU Honor Code
“On my honor, as a University of Colorado at Boulder student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized assistance on this work”
Every student is responsible to the honor code by promising not to:
- Plagiarize (copying and pasting, submitting someone else’s work as yours, failing to cite sources etc.)
- Cheat (using unauthorized study aids, getting someone else to take your test, collaboration etc)
- Fabricate (inventing research or sources)
- Aid (helping someone else do any of these things)
- Lie (about your academic submissions)
- Bribe (either offering or taking)
- Threaten
The Honor Code, Honor Council, and violation investigations are all run completely by other students.
Plagiarism is not always on purpose.
