Academic Integrity:

All students must comply with Brock's academic misconduct policies . Academic misconduct is a serious offence. The principle of academic integrity, particularly of doing one’s own work, documenting properly (including use of quotation marks, appropriate paraphrasing and referencing/citation), collaborating appropriately, and avoiding misrepresentation, is a core principle in university study. Students should consult Section XVII, “Academic Misconduct”, in the “Academic Regulations and University Policies” entry in the Graduate Calendar, available at http://brocku.ca/webcal. Information on what constitutes academic integrity is available at https://brocku.ca/academic-integrity/ .
• SUBMISSIONS WILL BE RUN THROUGH THE TURNITIN SIMILARITY CHECKER PROGRAM via BRIGHTSPACE.
