  15. 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.

Failure to turn in a paper results in an F in the class. • (Please see the attached research paper guidelines. The grading rubric will be given out at a later date)
