Suggested Readings/Materials

Honesty and trust are the most fundamental pillars of learning and are necessary foundation for success and academic freedom in a university. Hence, any behavior that jeopardizes the learning environment by violating the rules of academic honesty will not be tolerated or condoned. Violations of academic honesty include but are not limited to cheating or facilitating cheating, looking or attempting to look at another student's answers or allowing others to copy one's answers, copying other student’s in-class or take-home exam answers or letting others use take-home exam answers, using "cheat sheet," having someone else prepare the written assignment or homework or letting others use one’s homework/term project/paper,  assistance of another person in preparation of a tem paper/homework/project if not allowed by the instructor, ordering/purchasing term projects or homework or other assignments, signing in place of another student using their name/signature/student id number, plagiarism, showing the work of another as one's own, not properly citing an earlier own work, submitting the same homework/paper/term project in one more one course if not allowed by the instructor, inaccurately or inadequately citing sources including those from the Internet.

Violations of academic honesty could result in disciplinary action, as stated in the "Student Disciplinary Rules and Regulation" of the University. http://www.ieu.edu.tr/en/bylaws/type/read/id/13 and http://kariyer.ieu.edu.tr/en/bylaws/type/read/id/81 . By enrolling in the University, each student is assumed to have read the rules and regulations regarding academic dishonesty, and lack of knowledge of this policy is not an acceptable defense.
