Plagiarism / Cheating

Plagiarism is the use of another's ideas or expression without explicit consent and/or appropriate acknowledgement of the source. Cheating is an act of dishonesty or unfairly in order to gain an advantage. 
​

  • What happens if I get caught cheating? According to the Flagler County School Secondary Code of Student Conduct, cheating and plagiarism is considered a level 2 disciplinary offense. This can be found on page 17. In addition, the following consequences can be found on Page 37.  I take cheating very seriously due to the amount of time, patience, and effort it takes to create a formative and summative assessment. In addition, students are given ample warnings prior to getting to disciplinary consequences. 
     

  • 2 common form of plagiarism/cheating: 
          Formative - Handing your work to someone else / taking a picture of your work and sending it to someone else to copy off of. 
                               This will result in BOTH people receiving consequences. 

           Summative - Having your phone out while taking a test or talking while taking a test. This includes talking to another classmate, 
                                  regardless if you are done or not.
