Cheating and Plagiarism With the advancements in technology, it is easy for students to copy or cheat on tests and quizzes. Any form of cheating will not be tolerated. This includes, but is not limited to: a) Copying someone’s assignment and turning in b) Copying work from websites and turning it as your work c) Completing and submitting assignment for your friend(s) d) Editing other’s work without their permission.
