3. File an Instructional Support Ticket through the Hub Academic Integrity BloomTech expects Learners to understand and maintain high standards of academic integrity. The goal of BloomTech is that our Learners learn the material to competency. Asking for help and researching online are a key part of learning, and in the world of collaboration and open source, this can be tricky to navigate. Although you can search the web, read articles and documentation, and review code snippets and examples for help, you should be able to put all these assistance tools aside and write code from scratch. Learners should not submit any code or content that they did not write as their own work. For our purposes, breaches of academic integrity include, but are not limited to the following: ● Inappropriate Collaboration - Collaboration on assignments is prohibited unless explicitly permitted or directed by an instructor. Collaboration includes Learner, professional, and/or technological assistance other than personal research for inquiries. ● Plagiarism and Cheating - Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty that includes the wrongful appropriation of another's work, thoughts, ideas or expression. Plagiarism can include copying code or content from instructors, other Learners, outside sources, or generally submitting work that is not one’s own. Giving your solution code to another Learner to copy, or copying another Learner's work, is considered cheating. ● Sharing Solution Code - BloomTech projects and curriculum are the property of BloomTech. Any unauthorized sharing of project solution code within or outside of the BloomTech community is considered cheating, and may result in dismissal from the program. ● Inappropriate use of Intellectual Property and Copyright Violations - We expect all Learners to respect the intellectual property rights of BloomTech, instructors, staff, other Learners, as well as those of any and all external parties. BloomTech owns all code for BloomTech assigned projects. Learners own any code that they write for projects outside of the core BloomTech curriculum, even if these projects were written during their enrollment in BloomTech. Intellectual property violations include copyright violations, using, and/or linking materials to which you do not have the rights. BloomTech may request that you remove any content or material (either within Slack, The Hub, or externally) that is found to violate any Catalog policy, contractual term, law, and/or any intellectual property right. Content posted to BloomTech Slack spaces also belongs to BloomTech.
