Academic Integrity:  We have adapted the Smeal and University Principles on Academic Integrity as follows:

 

  • We count on one another to bring our own principles and moral compass to the world and to class. Our assumptions are that all Penn State MBA’s bring very high standards to their practice now – and will do so in the future.
  • We are here together to learn, work, share. “Free riding”, sitting back and letting others do the work, reflects lack of integrity and engagement with the class. If we hear of complaints we will take fast, prudent, confidential action.
  • Most everyone we have worked with in business is basically honest and of very high integrity. You need to be as well. Cheating, plagiarism, all of the things listed in many pages of legal sounding policies on the subject – is basically both dishonest and not good business. We need to hold one another accountable for not doing these things.
  • Acts of support, team play, enabling diverse points of view, and mobilizing special creativity in each of us is fun, honest, and good business.
  • Together we will tolerate no sort of discrimination or harassment.
  • Students with disabilities are invited to take this class, and they need any special accommodation, please see us directly or call at (814) 863-2782. We’ll do what we can to make our time together pleasant and productive.

 

 

On all material handed in for this class, students will attach the affirmation:

 

“I/We ­­­______________________ have neither given, utilized, received, nor witnessed unauthorized aid on this deliverable and have completed this work honestly and in accordance to the professors' guidelines.”
