Avoiding Academic Dishonesty

AMU faculty do not tolerate cheating, plagiarism, or any other form of academic dishonesty.

Plagiarism of any kind will not be tolerated under any circumstances and will result in an immediate “F” grade for the course. Any words and ideas that are not yours should be accompanied by full and complete citation. If you have any further questions dealing with academic honesty you must contact your instructor prior to the submission of any written assignment.
