SAMPLE Students who are confused about what constitutes plagiarism should meet with their instructor. Cheating: Cheating is the act of obtaining information or data improperly or by dishonest or deceitful means. Examples of cheating include copying from another student's test paper, obtaining information illegally on tests, and using unauthorized electronic devices.
