CHM 457 Biochemistry Laboratory Syllabus Winter 2009

Policy on Plagiarism:During this course, you will be working in groups. In addition, there may be times during the semesterwhen, for one reason or another, and with the instructor’s permission, you will be using data obtained bysomeone else for the write up of your notebooks. The sharing of information, data, or ideas in thesecircumstances is allowable, however, appropriate acknowledgement of the source of such contributions isrequired. Furthermore, you need to show that you did all the calculations on your own, with your ownanalysis, results, and discussion. Even if similar, there should be a slightly different interpretationbetween two lab partner’s discussion sections since there will be plenty of room for interpretation basedon the results of the experiments. You can still work in groups – however, the final write up should beyour own. If insufficient evidence of independent work is observed, the write-ups will be submitted tothe academic conduct committee for adjudication.
