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.
