W1.Q1: Code of Conduct Pledge

In this course, we aim to emulate ethical behavior. This means that we submit our own work and make sure not to plagiarize the work of other classmates.

Plagiarism is copying another person's ideas, words or writing and submitting them as one's own work. This can be as simple as copying and pasting another classmate’s comment in a forum. Students who plagiarize are not acting ethically.

If a student is caught copying and submitting another person’s work they will receive zero points on the discussion post or assignment. If this behavior is repeated, then you may be removed from the course.
