Questions?

23. Why Is There an Honor Code?
MSM New Student Orientation
Why Is There an Honor Code?
Both students and faculty share in the responsibility for cultivating a learning environment.
What Do You Pledge?
Every Notre Dame graduate business student is expected to make the ethical and moral commitment to act honestly and to not tolerate academic dishonesty on the part of other students.

24. What would you do? Scenario #1
MSM New Student Orientation
What would you do?
Scenario #1
You are taking a final exam, which is being proctored by a member of the Student Services team because the professor is out of town. The professor gave instructions to the class that no cell phones or laptops should be used during the exam. You are sitting near the back of the classroom and notice that a classmate is using his cell phone. The Student Services proctor does not notice this. What do you do?
What does it take to be authentic? To be true to your core values, especially in business, where some corporate cultures value quarterly earnings and shortcuts over long-term company growth and human concern for others?
Knowing does not always lead to doing.
Have high expectations in and out of the classroom
Starts with individual integrity

25. Academic Code of Honor In Your Own Work In Working with Other Students
MSM New Student Orientation
Academic Code of Honor
In Your Own Work
All submitted work must be your own —no matter how small or insignificant the assignment, whether it is graded or ungraded, a draft or a final version. This reflects your personal commitment to academic integrity and being truthful.
In Working with Other Students
Collaborative study that has been explicitly forbidden by your instructor is also forbidden by the Honor Code
Be mindful about sharing information, especially between groups or during a take home exam

26. Academic Code of Honor Your Responsibility
MSM New Student Orientation
Academic Code of Honor
Your Responsibility
Be sure to learn from each of your instructors how the Honor Code applies specifically to that course
Clarify any questions you have about individual and group work
When in doubt--ASK
Collaboration encouraged, but citations necessary
You are responsible for checking with your instructor to see what is acceptable in terms of group work

What would you do?
Scenario #2
You are watching a team of classmates give a final presentation for a finance class. On one of the slides presented, you notice that a data chart matches one you have seen on the internet. However, no citation or reference is made about the data chart, either verbally or on the slide. Is this an honor code violation? What do you do?

31. What would you do? Scenario #3
MSM New Student Orientation
What would you do?
Scenario #3
A business analytics course has two sections on Mondays and Wednesdays: one at 8:00 a.m. and one at 10:00 a.m. You are registered in the 8:00 a.m. section and have just completed the midterm exam. Leaving the classroom, you overhear a classmate from the 8:00 a.m. section sharing details of the exam with a classmate in the 10:00 a.m. section. Is this an Honor Code violation? What do you do?

32. What would you do? Scenario #4
MSM New Student Orientation
What would you do?
Scenario #4
You and a classmate—who is also a good friend—are both taking an ethics elective together. The classmate has asked to take the course’s final exam a day early and the professor has granted this exception. You later learn that the real reason for the request is so that the student can attend a concert out of town on the day of the exam, but this was not the reason given to the professor. Is this an honor code violation?

MSM New Student Orientation
IF YOU WITNESS AN HONOR CODE VIOLATION
If you witness a violation of the Honor Code or believe it has been violated, consider talking with the suspected student

If you are not comfortable confronting the student, you may choose to discuss the observed action(s) with the instructor, not naming those involved, and determine if the act merits action
