General Information


Academic Honesty

This goes without saying … but I'll say it anyways: you are expected to act in an academically honest fashion. This means abiding by the Ohio University Honor Code and adhering to the Code of Conduct.

If you have any concerns as to what does or does not constitute academic dishonesty (e.g. sharing work on homework assignments), please don't hesitate to ask me.
