Academic Integrity
Northwestern University takes academic integrity very seriously. Under
University policy, faculty are required to refer possible cases to the dean’s
office. If it is determined that academic integrity has been violated, then the
student will receive appropriate sanctions. Sanctions range from a letter of
reprimand, a suspension spanning one to four quarters, or permanent
exclusion from the University. The standard sanction for an academic integrity
violation is a one-quarter suspension, which may be reduced or increased
depending on mitigating or aggravating factors.
I strongly urge you to familiarize yourself with the standards for
academic integrity. Following are a few basic standards that are commonly
violated.
1
1) You may not copy text from the Internet, newspapers, articles, books, and
other sources and use it as if it were your own writing.
2) You may not use ideas (including analyses, interpretations or
speculations) from the Internet, articles, books, and other sources without
citing exactly where you got them. Citing the source of your ideas and
information is called attribution and is very important. Ideas have
owners, and these owners must be properly acknowledged.
3) You may not collaborate and use the product of that collaboration as if it
were all your own work. Collaboration must be given prior permission by
the instructor, and it must be acknowledged as such in writing when you
turn in your assignment.
4) You must use proper citation for your attributions. In the field of History,
the Chicago style is preferred. Familiarize yourself with it and use it often.
When in doubt, attribute your sources.
