If the assignment is not a group project, you must complete the work independently. When doing independent work, you may discuss your ideas with others and receive feedback from peers on drafts of papers. However, it is an honor code violation to use content material from others without citing the source in your paper. It is also not appropriate to turn your paper over to someone else to edit or to revise. 

You are responsible for making certain there is no question the work you turn in is your own. If your name appears on an assignment, your professor has the right to expect that you have done the work yourself, fully and independently. 

Three fundamental principles to follow at all times are: 

1) All work submitted with your name must be your own. 

2) When using the language or ideas of others, including your fellow students, you must give appropriate credit. 

3) If you are uncertain about the ground rules for a particular assignment, ask for clarification. No grade is important enough to justify cheating, for which there is a serious consequence.
