Curriculum materials will be also locatedon the course Moodle website; for example, course PowerPoint files, data sets forproblem-solving activities, printed lab materials, etc.Important note on plagiarism in the lab: While in the lab, you will often “share data”with the entire class (e.g., post it to the board) when conducting lab exercises, and this isnot plagiarism. However, in no way can you ever share text from your lab reports /assignments (such as your description of the lab procedures, discussion andconclusions, etc.) with anybody in any of the lab sections. NEVER let another studentcopy text that you turn in for grading – in that case both individuals are guilty ofplagiarism and will be written up to the U of M Board of Academic Misconduct andappropriate consequences will be implemented. Please talk to your lab TA or KatherinePhillips if you have questions about plagiarism. Contact the Office of Student Conductand Academic Integrity for more information: http://www1.umn.edu/oscai/6
