Cheating will not be tolerated; students are referred to University Policy 71 on scholastic offences. Looking at the midterm or final examination of another student, allowing another student to view your exam, or obtaining information about an examination in advance are all examples of cheating. Students found cheating will receive a minimum of zero (0%) on that exam.
A number of safeguards will be employed to discourage cheating. For example, invigilators of the tests may ask students to move to another seat during the exam, cover their paper, avert their eyes from other students' papers, remove baseball caps, etc. This is not meant as a personal affront nor as an accusation of cheating, rather as vigilant attempts at proctoring. No questions may be asked during either the midterm or final examinations other than "May I go to the wash room?" Seating may be randomly assigned at the time of the examination.
