Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
The department, school and university have very strict guidelines regarding
academic misconduct. Obviously, copying is not allowed on exams. Students are
expected to submit their own work on individual homework and projects. Lending
or borrowing all or part of a simulation model or program from another student
is not allowed. Students ARE allowed to borrow and modify any code on this class
web site in their projects. Instances of cheating will result in a referral
to the department chairman and the dean of engineering.
All sources in your written work (project reports) must be properly referenced;
if you use a source from the literature or the idea of another for your work
you must reference it. If you quote or copy a block of text, it must be cited
and included in quotation marks (if a sentence or less in length) or in block
quote style (if more than a sentence in length). If you paraphrase text (reword
a phrase, sentence, or paragraph), you must also quote or blockquote followed
by “[paraphrased]” in addition to proper citation. Figures taken
from other sources must be referenced.
The USC academic
integrity quiz is also useful reading. If you have any doubt, talk to me
– inexperience in past writing or coming from an environment where plagiarism
was permitted will not be an acceptable excuse for academic misconduct.
I recommend that you take intermediate notes from which you write your own
words. I strongly recommend that you not write in one window while displaying
the work of others in another window; this is asking for trouble. “Unintentional”
paraphrasing is also not an acceptable excuse for academic misconduct.

Use of EdTech services
- Professors and instructors at the KU School of Engineering are aware that some students are actively posting homework, laboratory, and exam questions and responses to EdTech services (e.g., Chegg) even during exam time frames.
Keep in mind that when a person signs up to participate by either uploading, and/or downloading, and/or using posted material from these sites, the “terms of service” that are agreed to do not protect the person when KU and/or the School of Engineering decide to conduct investigations related to academic misconduct (e.g., plagiarism and/or cheating).
In fact, EdTech services, like Chegg, retain contact information of students who use their services and will release that information, which is traceable, upon request. Using these services constitutes academic misconduct, which is not tolerated in the School of Engineering. It violates Article 3r, Section 6 of its Rules & Regulations, and may lead to grades of F in compromised course(s), transcript citations of academic misconduct, and expulsion from the University of Kansas.
If unsure about assignments, it is important that students use the allowable available resources, such as instructor office hours, graduate teaching assistants, and/or tutoring. The School of Engineering wants students to be successful; cheating is not the way to attain that success.
Use of smartphones, tablets, and laptops in class.
- Smartphones, tablets, and laptops may only be used in direct support of class activities.
- Texting, general web browsing, checking of e-mail is NOT permitted during class.
- Video and audio recording of the EECS 360 class lectures is prohibited.
- Changes announced in class and the class web site supersede these written instructions.
- Student with disabilities or special needs should see me immediately for accommodations.
