Course Sidekick Honor Code
Course Sidekick, a Learneo, Inc. service, goes above and beyond to help you — not
just in passing your classes, but in expanding your education by connecting you
with new topics, concepts, and ideas. We're dedicated to providing high-quality
academic resources to help you learn and study more effectively, and we're equally
committed to ensuring proper usage and protecting ownership of those resources.
By using our service, you agree to comply with our Honor Code.
We expect our users to act with academic integrity. Therefore, anyone who misuses
our site for the express purpose of cheating and/or claiming another user's content
as their own will be met with appropriate action. Review our rules for proper use
below:
Do
Use materials on our service to study more effectively and to better understand
your course material.
Use study materials on our service to assist with your assignments when it is
appropriate.
Use our service in a manner that follows your instructors' or institution's academic
honor codes.
Don't
Copy solutions directly from resources on our service and submit them as your own
work.
Use materials on our service to complete assignments when instructed not to use
outside help.
Use our service in any manner that violates your instructors’ or institution’s
academic honor codes.
Cheating is ill-advised for several reasons:
First, by stealing someone else's ideas, you're not bothering to learn the material
yourself. You've shelled out a handsome sum in tuition, and cheating only erodes
the value of the education in which you've invested. You're really cheating yourself,
in the end.
Second, you will likely get caught. Many universities leverage sophisticated
technologies to scan for plagiarized material in student-submitted work. We are an
online database, and therefore materials on our service are often crawled by these
content monitoring tools. We're even going out of our way to make sure that they
are.
Third, the consequences are severe, and for many institutions, convictions of
academic dishonesty can result in probation, suspension, or even expulsion.
We welcome suggestions and feedback on how we can improve our Honor Code.
