Academic Integrity and Honor Code:
Honesty and integrity are at the core of Mason academic programs, research and community. George Mason University's honor code
states the following:
Honor Code Statement To promote a stronger sense of mutual responsibility, respect, trust, and fairness among all members of the
George Mason University Community and with the desire for greater academic and personal achievement, we, the student members of the
university community, have set forth this Honor Code: Student Members of the George Mason University community pledge not to cheat,
plagiarize, steal, or lie in matters related to academic work.
Avoid Reposting Course Material:
It is not allowed to reposting course material. The course materials (lecture notes, homework, projects, exams, solutions, and anything else
posted on the course website) are copyrighted. You may not upload them to any other website or share them with any on-line or off-line test
bank.
Communications and Technology:
Students should use their Mason email account to receive important university information, including messages related to this class

course webpages hosted at Mason https://CNL.gmu.edu. If you need to familiarize yourself with
Blackboard, please see https://mymasonportal.gmu.edu. All course materials posted to course

from other students are private and must not be shared outside the class. Live video conference meetings
(e.g. Collaborate or Zoom) that include audio, textual, or visual information from other students must be
viewed privately to the extent possible, and should not be shared with others in your household or
recorded and shared outside the class.
