= 3. Code de l'honneur =

Sur tout le travail que vous me donnez, vous écrirez le code de l'honneur :


 * "Sur mon honneur en tant que membre de la communauté de Cary Academy, je ne tolérerai pas le déshonneur, et je ne donnerai ni recevrai aucune aide non autorisée sur le travail que je fais." **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The World Language Program at Cary Academy takes academic honesty very seriously. We believe that the majority of Cary Academy students are committed to academic integrity, and we wish to assist our students in upholding that standard by specifying what it means to follow the Academic Honor Code in a world language class. All students taking a world language at Cary Academy are required to read and abide by these guidelines, which are reviewed in all world language classes at the beginning of every school year.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As a student in the World Language Program at Cary Academy, I understand that… **

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1) I may not reveal the contents or structure of any exam, test or quiz to students in later sections of the same level or to students in the same class section who take the exam after I do.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">2) I may not copy, paraphrase or translate words, phrases, or ideas from another source without citing that source appropriately. Any websites or other sources used for projects must be cited appropriately in a bibliography. If I have any doubts about how appropriately to cite my sources, I understand that it is my responsibility to consult my world language teacher about them well before the assignment is due.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">3) **Individual work**: I may not allow another person to draft or write any portion of an individual assignment, nor may I allow another person to proofread an **individual** assignment, without the express permission of my world language teacher. Other persons include students of the same or higher levels, tutors, family and friends who know the world language, and native speakers of the world language.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4) In World Language courses, students are encouraged to use words and phrases from the textbook because we learn language through imitation and textbooks are designed for this. However, phrases (with the exception of idiomatic phrases) and sentences may not be cut and pasted from the Internet or any other outside source. I may not use any computer software that compromises my learning process. This includes all grammar-checking devices and translation programs. I understand, however, that use of spell-check in the world language is permitted. Google Translate and other **translators** are not allowed. Online **dictionaries** may be used for isolated words when the student is linguistically able to apply them correctly, but not for any more than a single word or idiomatic phrase (no sentences).
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Collabartive/group work **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">: I will make sure I understand how/when I may collaborate with other students. The teacher will include collaboration instructions when assigning the work. All students collaborating must complete an appropriate share of the work involved.
