# FASS Regulations **REGULATIONS COMMON TO ALL HISTORY COURSES** **COPIES OF WRITTEN WORK SUBMITTED** Always retain for yourself a copy of all essays, term papers, written assignments or take-home tests submitted in your courses. **PLAGIARISM** The University Senate defines plagiarism as “*presenting, whether intentionally or not, the ideas, expression of ideas or work of others as one’s own.”* This can include: · reproducing or paraphrasing portions of someone else’s published or unpublished material, regardless of the source, and presenting these as one’s own without proper citation or reference to the original source; · submitting a take home examination, essay, laboratory report or other assignment written, in whole or in part, by someone else; · using ideas or direct, verbatim quotations, or paraphrased material, concepts, or ideas without appropriate acknowledgment in any academic assignment; · using another’s data or research findings; · failing to acknowledge sources through the use of proper citations when using another’s works and/or failing to use quotation marks; · handing in "substantially the same piece of work for academic credit more than once without prior written permission of the course instructor in which the submission occurs." Plagiarism is a serious offence which cannot be resolved directly with the course’s instructor. The Associate Dean of the Faculty conducts a rigorous investigation, including an interview with the student, when an instructor suspects a piece of work has been plagiarized. Penalties are not trivial. They can include a final grade of "F" for the course. **COURSE SHARING WEBSITES and COPYRIGHT** Classroom teaching and learning activities, including lectures, discussions, presentations, etc., by both instructors and students, are copy protected and remain the intellectual property of their respective author(s). All course materials, including PowerPoint presentations, outlines, and other materials, are also protected by copyright and remain the intellectual property of their respective author(s). \ \ Students registered in the course may take notes and make copies of course materials for their own educational use only. Students are not permitted to reproduce or distribute lecture notes and course materials publicly for commercial or non-commercial purposes without express written consent from the copyright holder(s). **STATEMENT ON CLASS CONDUCT** The Carleton University Human Rights Policies and Procedures affirm that all members of the University community share a responsibility to: · promote equity and fairness, · respect and value diversity, · prevent discrimination and harassment, and · preserve the freedom of its members to carry out responsibly their scholarly work without threat of interference. **Carleton University Equity Services states that “every member of the University community has a right to study, work and live in a safe environment free of discrimination or harassment”.** \[In May of 2001 Carleton University’s Senate and Board of Governors approved the Carleton University Human Rights Policies and Procedures.
