University and College Expectations: Academic Integrity

http://www.theuniversityfaculty.cornell.edu/AcadInteg/index.htmlExamples of ViolationsCopying and using text from the internet, books, or other media, while presenting it as your ownUnauthorized assistance from parents, friends, and internet paper sitesFabricating dataForging signatures on formsHoarding or damaging library materials; hacking class websites to make them unusable by othersMisrepresenting academic accomplishments resume paddingSubmission of the same work to two or more coursesSharing your work with friends! Getting Involved in Research at Cornell65% of HD graduating seniors last year had taken part in faculty research (all but 3 had done that research with HD faculty)How did the students get involved?Getting to know professors whose work interested them talking to professors after classSpeaking with graduate teaching assistants about possible research opportunitiesAttending orientation and informational events where faculty came to describe researchEnrolling in an HD Laboratory class, where students learn about research while also taking part in it

Special issues for transfer studentsTake classes that add to what you have taken elsewhere dont repeat the same class

If you dont need 2000-level courses (check your graduation summary), consider 3000-level HD classes

Also, be sure to fulfill College requirements check with Central Advising for advice about managing requirementsSome Final Words on Adapting to CornellThe assumption is that you are self-motivated and can learn how to figure things out on your own

Professors expect that you will read instructions and follow them professors do not repeat instructions, they get right down to class material

Many classes do not accept late enrollments (after the first or second week)

Many classes do not accept any excuses for late work

Some professors require class attendance

Get off on the right foot: refer to professors as Doctor or Professor never Mister, Ms, Mrs or by their first name.Interacting with Faculty AdvisorA great resource for talking about career options.

Email with plenty of time

Be judicious in how you use your faculty advisorHD Open House
