REQUIRED STATEMENTS FOR SYLLABUS

( https://curriculumsystems.uga.edu/curriculum/courses/syllabus/ )

UGA Student Honor Code: "I will be academically honest in all of my academic work and will not tolerate academic dishonesty of others." A Culture of Honesty, the University's policy and procedures for handling cases of suspected dishonesty, can be found at www.uga.edu/ovpi .

Lack of knowledge of the academic honesty policy is not a reasonable explanation for a violation. Questions related to course assignments and the academic honesty policy should be directed to the instructor.

My expectation with respect to what constitutes academic dishonesty is outlined in UGA’s Academic Honesty Policy:
