Instructor’s Policy on Recording Lectures

Students are NOT permitted to take picture or record any part of the lectures, tutorials, labs,
examinations, etc.

Intellectual Property
Lectures and course materials prepared by the professor are considered by the University to be an
instructor’s intellectual property covered by the Copyright Act, RSC 1985, c C-42. Course materials such
as PowerPoint/PDF slides and lecture recordings are made available to you for your own study purposes.
These materials cannot be shared outside of the class or “published” in any way. Lectures, whether in
person or online, cannot be recorded without the instructor’s permission. Posting recordings or slides to
other websites without the express permission of the instructor will constitute copyright infringement.

9
Academic Integrity
All incidents of academic dishonesty will be documented with the Associate Dean of Engineering
– Academic. University procedures will be followed. Such incidents may include but are not
limited to: submission of assignments other than your own, receiving or sharing prior knowledge
of test questions, sharing or receiving information during a test by any means (including
electronic), sharing or receiving knowledge of a test with students who have not yet written the
test, using a solutions manual to prepare submitted assignments.
Associated with on-line instruction and evaluation, the course instructor may identify academic
integrity concerns with submissions for a graded aspect of the course. In such cases, the
instructor can set up a meeting with individual student(s) to further assess knowledge in the given
area. This assessment can either confirm the original mark or can be considered in place of the
initial assessment to increase or decrease the original mark. All such cases will be documented
with the Department Head.
The uploading of test, exam, assignment, laboratory, and project questions or prompts to, as well
as the downloading of answers or responses from ChatGPT and other on-line services is a breach
of academic integrity. Academic integrity violations will be dealt with according to Bylaw 31.
Typical sanctions for a first offence range from a zero grade to a formal censure listed on your
transcript.
Per the University of Windsor Bylaw 31: Student Affairs and Integrity
Source: Student Code of Conduct

Plagiarism: the act of copying, reproducing or paraphrasing portions of someone else's published
or unpublished material (from any source, including the internet), without proper
acknowledgement. Plagiarism applies to all intellectual endeavours: creation and presentation of
music, drawings, designs, dance, photography and other artistic and technical works. In the case
of oral presentations, the use of material that is not one’s own, without proper acknowledgment
or attribution, constitutes plagiarism and, hence, academic dishonesty. (Students have the
responsibility to learn and use the conventions of documentation as accepted in their area of
study.)
Dishonesty: such as cheating, in academic activities.
Furnishing false information to the University: falsifying/altering, withholding or concocting
medical records, correspondence, academic documents, research results, references, sources;
forging or using University documents, records or instruments of identification with intent to
defraud.

“Where a student has been found to have acted with misconduct, as defined in this bylaw, one or more
of the following sanctions may be imposed” by the Associate Dean: admonition, letter of apology, mark
reduction, repeat work for assessment, censure, no credit – discipline, recommendation to deny
registration, denial of registration, community service, etc. (Bylaw 31, section 2.3).

Use of Plagiarism-Detection Software in This Course

☒ Plagiarism-detection software may be used in this course.
Source: Senate Policy on Plagiarism Detection Software, Appendix A

Use of Plagiarism-Detection Software in This Course

10
1. Rationale. The University believes in the right of all students to be part of a University community
where academic integrity is expected, maintained, enforced, and safeguarded; it expects that all students
will be evaluated and graded on their own individual work; it recognizes that students often have to use
the ideas of others as expressed in written, published, or unpublished work in the preparation of essays,
assignments, reports, theses, and publications. However, it expects that both the data and ideas obtained
from any and all published or unpublished material will be properly acknowledged, and sources disclosed.
Failure to follow this practice constitutes plagiarism. The University, through the availability of plagiarism-
detection software, desires to encourage responsible student behavior, prevent plagiarism, improve
student learning, and ensure greater accountability.
2. Procedure. Plagiarism-detection software SafeAssign may be used for some or all student
assignments in this course, at the instructor’s discretion. You may be asked to submit your assignments
to the instructor in electronic form who will then submit the assignments to the plagiarism-detection
software if deemed necessary. Note that students’ assignments that are submitted to the plagiarism-
detection software become part of the database. This assists in protecting your intellectual property.
However, you also have the right to request that your assignment(s) not be run through the student
assignments database. If you choose to do so, that request must be communicated to me in writing at
the beginning of the course.

Sexual Misconduct
The University of Windsor values dignity, respect and equality for all individuals and strives to foster an
atmosphere of healthy attitudes and behaviours towards sexuality, sex and gender. The University is
committed to maintaining a healthy and safe learning, living, social, recreational, and working
environment.
All forms of sexual misconduct (included, but not limited to: verbal harassment, non-consensual sexual
contact; online harassment; non-consensual sharing of images, etc.) jeopardize the mental, physical and
emotional welfare of our students and employees, as well as the safety of the campus community and
the reputation of the University. Anyone who has experienced sexual misconduct deserves support.
Regardless of whether the incident occurred recently or many years ago, you deserve support now.
If you wish to speak confidentially about an incident of sexual misconduct, please contact the Sexual
Misconduct Response and Prevention Office at [email protected]. Please note, you do not have
to formally report your experience in order to receive support, resources, and guidance. If you would like
to consider filing a formal complaint with the University or have questions about policies and procedures
regarding sexual misconduct, the Office can also provide this information and assist with the process.
