Academic integrity Because students have taken the official Purdue Honor Pledge, "As a Boilermaker pursuing academic excellence, I pledge to be honest and true in all that I do. Accountable together - We are Purdue," I expect there to be no academic dishonesty in this class. Students will not be asked to sign or repeat any similar statement again and I will treat you with the trust deserving of someone who has taken the pledge. However, I am required to mention in my syllabus material that Purdue policy states, "Incidents of academic misconduct in this course will be addressed by the course instructor and referred to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR) for review at the university level. Any violation of course policies as it relates to academic integrity will result minimally in a failing or zero grade for that particular assignment, and at the instructor's discretion may result in a failing grade for the course. In addition, all incidents of academic misconduct will be forwarded to OSRR, where university penalties, including removal from the university, may be considered." ---
