Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism



  • If you suspect a student has committed academic dishonesty (see UPPS 07.10.01 for a detailed list of violations of the University Honor Code), you must follow university protocols. Contact Nancy Wilson (nw05@txstate.edu) if you have any questions.

     


  • If you wish to use Turnitin, you may want to require that your students submit their papers via the Assignments feature of TRACS. By clicking on the "Turnitin" option, students' papers will automatically yield Turnitin reports.  (The Assignments feature also allows you to require students to accept the Honor Pledge.)

    Even if you use the Assignments feature of TRACS, you can require that students also submit hard copies of their papers.

    Below is a link to a video that explains how to create an assignment in TRACS:

  • Student Honor Code Pledge: Students at our university recognize that, to ensure honest conduct, more is needed than an expectation of academic honesty, and we therefore adopt the practice of affixing the following pledge of honesty to the work we submit for evaluation: I pledge to uphold the principles of honesty and responsibility at our university.
