CIVL125 – Physics and Statics-Test 1
Cheating, by obtaining answers to questions through unauthorized means (from another student, from
internet etc.) is an academic offence and is punishable by academic penalty. An academic penalty begins
with the assignment of a grade of zero (0) in such situations and can be extended up to and including
suspension from a program/ course and expulsion from the College.
