Bios 111 Supplemental Honor Code Policy

All of the rules under the Rice Honor Code apply to Bios 111. When you turn anything in you must be able to make the statement, "On my honor, I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on this assignment." Assignments to which this pledge apply are notebook entries, homework, and the writing assignment.

The nature of these assignments may necessitate additional explanation.

Notebooks

You are to take notes (1) in lab, (2) as you work, and (3) in your own words. You may paraphrase from a protocol that we give you or that you print from the course web site, but you must not enter the information word for word. Document exactly what you did, even if you made a mistake.

You absolutely must not copy from another student's notebook, even if you share the work with a partner. Communicate with your co-investigator and share the information by word of mouth, and/or confirm what steps your partner carried out so that you may enter the information in your own words.

Notebook pages that you turn in must be exact duplicates of what is entered into your permanent notebook. Altering a copy after removing it from the notebook is a violation, unless you notify an instructor or teaching assistant in advance and have the alteration initialed.

Homework assignments

All homework assignments are to be done entirely on your own. Under no circumstances may you "share" the work. If you have trouble with an assignment then contact an instructor or teaching assistant. If you have waited until the last minute to complete an assignment and do not have time to obtain help, then do the best that you can, and start earlier next time.
