The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is proud of its students' commitment to academic integrity and their
pledge to abide by the Honor Statement found in Hilltopics. This tradition of intellectual honesty is maintained
by the cooperation of students and faculty members. "Each faculty member," according to Hilltopics, "is responsible for defining, in specific terms, guidelines for preserving academic integrity in a course." Before assigning work to be graded, I shall discuss the important Honor Statement, as it relates to both individuals and
groups in this particular course.
