UMD’s general policies can be found at this link. The text below is a supplement to these policies and describes the principles I aim to follow in creating our classroom space.
Copyright and sharing
Class lectures and other
materials may not be reproduced for anything other than personal use
without written permission from the instructor.
Where course materials are shared publicly on the web, you are welcome to pass on the link to friends, but I ask that you check with me before making any other use of the material. It is a violation of both personal confidence and academic integrity to share other students’ work outside the context of this class without their explicit permission.
Your own work from this course is yours to use as you like. Bear in mind, though, that while the use of copyrighted material to create new transformative works is considered to be fair use, this is a complex and rapidly changing legal area.
Academic Integrity
The University of Maryland,
College Park has a nationally recognized Code of Academic Integrity,
administered by the Student Honor Council. This Code sets standards for
academic integrity at Maryland for all undergraduate and graduate
students. As a student you are responsible for upholding these standards
for this course. It is very important for you to be aware of the
consequences of cheating, fabrication, facilitation, and plagiarism.
Cheating includes: reusing portions of coursework for credit, allowing
others to prepare work, and utilizing external aids including commercial
term paper and internet companies. If you have a question regarding any
of the above or the code in general, consult immediately with one of
the instructors. For more information on the Code of Academic Integrity
or the Student Honor Council, please visit:
