CLASSICS DEPARTMENT
POLICY ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Trust is the cornerstone of the Brunswick Community. Based
on this, the Classics Department would like to reiterate
certain aspects and definitions of the School’s policy on
Academic Integrity.
“Dishonesty is the willful giving or receiving of any
unfair advantage on any academic exercise.” All work,
whether done in or out of the classroom, must be completely
original, i.e., the student’s own. This includes all
homework, graded or ungraded, projects, tests, and quizzes.
Seeking the aid of translation software and on-line
translation services will be considered cheating.
Make-up tests must be taken within TWO days of your return
to school and without prior knowledge of specific
examination material derived from communication with other
students.
“Plagiarism is the submission of work as one’s own, any
part of which is written or created by another, copied or
paraphrased from ANY source without proper citation, or
based upon an idea unique to another source without proper
acknowledgment.” This includes print sources and internet
sources and also verbal sources, without previous
permission from the teacher and proper citation.
In Classics, a note must be added about the use of
translations of texts, either in print form or on the
internet. There are many translations of the major works
studied in Latin and Greek. When a text is assigned to be
translated for a quiz, test, or exercise, the work
submitted must be completely the student’s translation. Any
use of a professional translation in this situation is
cheating.
