As a Thiel student and DHI member you are expected to adhere to the College Honor Code and maintain academic integrity.
This means:
- Crediting others for their work.
- Presenting your own work in an honest manner.
- Maintaining the integrity of your research process by
- representing your evidence, data, and sources fairly and honestly and
- taking care to avoid errors in your work
- Preventing harm to your research subjects.
Consult with your advisor, instructor, or the DHI Director if you have questions about research ethics or plagiarism. Begin these conversations when you are uncertain. These questions are also part of the research process.
