To ensure the maintenance of academic integrity at Hoa Sen University, students are required to:  Work independently on individual assignments Collaborating on individual assignments is considered cheating.  Avoid plagiarism Plagiarism is an act of fraud that involves the use of ideas or words of another person without proper attribution. Students will be accused of plagiarism if they: i. Copy in their work one or more sentences from another person without proper citation. ii. Rephrase, paraphrase, or translate another person’s ideas or words without proper attribution. iii. Reuse their own assignments, in whole or in part, and submit them for another class.  Work responsibly within a working group In cooperative group assignments, all students are required to stay on task and contribute equally to the projects.
