'''Academic Integritywhite-space:''' In the process of conducting scientific work an attitude of trust and honesty is essential for all participants. In the physics department we have an honor code. We expect you to behave honorably in all aspects of your life. This means that we trust you. For example, you are free to leave the room during a test without asking me. We take our honor code very seriously, so a breach of this trust has severe consequences. Cheating – in any form – is grounds for dismissal from the course with a grade of F. More significantly, cheating would damage the trust I have in you. Don’t jeopardize this trust. Keep in mind that I respect the effort you put into the class, regardless of your grade. When working on homework I expect you to communicate with each other, but all tests are to be conducted entirely on your own.  pre-wrap; ''Over the years, you will probably forget much of what you learn in this "><span class, and the grades you receive will not be as important in the future as they seem to be now. However, the character you forge will be with you forever.''  ="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre; All students are expected understand and follow the University of St. Thomas policies on Academic Integrity.
