According to TMU Policy 60 (http://www.torontomu.ca/content/dam/senate/policies/pol60.pdf), academic misconduct includes, but not limited to:

• Plagiarism which is the claiming of words, ideas, artistry, drawings or data of another person. This also includes submitting your own work in whole or in part for credit in two or more courses.
• Cheating
• Misrepresentation of personal identity or performance
• Submission of false information
• Contributing to academic misconduct
• Damaging, tampering, or interfering with the scholarly environment
• Unauthorized copying or use of copyrighted materials
• Violations of departmental policies or professional behavior
• Violations of specific departmental or course requirements

• offering, giving, sharing or selling questions and/or answers to tests or exams, quizzes or other assignments unless authorized to do so;
• allowing work to be copied during an examination, test or for other assignments.
• Note that Dr. Woit does NOT give any authorization for anything mentioned in TMU Policy 60, or at any official TMU webpage relating to Academic Misconduct, such as the one above.

• "both cheating and attempted cheating be treated severely"
• "cheating in any form on an evaluation should result in an automatic zero mark on that evaluation and in general also result in a substantive additional academic penalty"
• "any penalty applied against a student for ... academic misconduct ... should clearly exceed in magnitude any potential academic gain that student might expect to obtain from the offence. This is akin to the idea that a suitable punishment for a bank robber should exceed simply requiring the robber to return the stolen money."
