Bioc 111 Supplemental Honor Code Policy

All of the rules under the Rice Honor Code apply to Bioc 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.

Rule #1

Unless otherwise noted in writing on the course website or otherwise directed by an instructor or TA, ALL notebook entries and homework assignments are to be completed entirely on your own. There is to be no sharing of written work, figures, or notebook pages, nor is there to be any collaboration of any kind on these assignments.

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. In fact, we recommend that you refrain from completing the homework in the presence of any other student currently in Bioc 111 or who has previously taken the course. Under no circumstances may you "share" the work. Sharing includes any discussion of how to complete any part of any homework assignment. 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.

We would like to thank New England Biolabs for their generous support of this laboratory course
