HONESTY!
• I require honesty on tests and assignments.
Following Porterville College policy, if a student
cheats on a test or assignment, or plagiarizes, I will
give an “F” grade on that assignment and I will report
the incident to the Dean. The student will have to
meet with the Dean of Students to determine
whether further disciplinary action is necessary. I
will also notify the chair or the Health Careers
division.
