Academic Honesty Statement
“Making references to the work of others strengthens your own work by
granting you greater authority and by showing that you are part of a
discussion located within an intellectual community. When you make
references to the ideas of others, it is essential to provide proper attribution
and citation. Failing to do so is considered academically dishonest, as is
copying or paraphrasing someone else’s work. The consequences of such
behavior will lead to consequences ranging from failure on an assignment to
failure in the course to dismissal from the university. Because the disciplines
of the Humanities value collaborative work, you will be encouraged to share
ideas and to include the ideas of others in our papers. Please ask if you are
in doubt about the use of a citation. Honest mistakes can always be
corrected or prevented.
The JMU Honor Code is available from the Honor Council Web site:
