Muskingum University education students are racing to support dyslexia awareness on Thursday, Oct. 7 in the 2021 Dyslexia Dash Virtual 5K Run/Walk.

“We encourage everyone to walk with us to show an overwhelming support of literacy,” said Jolie Black, a senior early childhood/special education major. “So many young students struggle with reading, and this is a just fun way to come together as a community to say we want to make a difference.”

Academic Dishonesty, and Plagiarism

Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are serious offenses at Muskingum University, and the instructors have the prerogative of invoking the severest penalty for an initial offense. Each department is responsible for developing its definition of plagiarism, but in general, plagiarism is the verbal, written, graphic, or three-dimensional presentation of borrowed material without citing its source. Students must cite all quotations, paraphrases, borrowed ideas, models, information, or organization of material.
