2015-2016 Student Handbook 39 Academic Policies and Services Student Learning Outcomes Compelled by the biblical vision for love of God and others, and compelled by Christ's commission to make disciples of all nations, Denver Seminary graduates will be able to do the following: Biblically and Theologically Grounded Demonstrate integrated biblical and theological competence. Contextually Sensitive Serve all people effectively and faithfully, with cultural discernment and without prejudice or favoritism. Spiritually Mature and Growing Exhibit a mature and growing Christlikeness in their character. Vocationally Fit Discern and pursue personal vocation in a theologically integrated manner. Academic Integrity God is truth and has revealed truth through his Word; God's Son, Jesus, is the Truth; the Holy Spirit guides us into truth. Through Scripture we know that as God's children we are to be truthful and are to avoid all dishonesty, deception and lying. Denver Seminary is committed to building each other up to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ. As a community of believers, we are called to truthfulness in all areas of life. Academic integrity is built on the assumption that both faculty and students will be truthful and honest – faculty in maintaining academic honesty in their own research, writing and teaching; students in carrying out their assignments with honesty and integrity; all with truthfulness and honesty in their relations with each other. The following kinds of behaviors violate academic integrity: Dishonesty: Dishonesty is considered using notes or other materials not expressly permitted for an exam, quiz, or other assignment; copying from the examination of another or allowing one's own examination paper to be copied; reading, without the instructor's permission, a copy of the examination prior to the date it is given; giving or receiving unpermitted aid on an examination; submitting the same work in more than one course without the permission of the instructor(s); or other acts normally considered cheating. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is presenting another's work as though it is one's own academic achieve- ment. The intellectual contributions of others may be utilized, but always with full credit given to the authors whose ideas are presented. Requirements for acknowledging sources of academic work are: • Quotations must be placed in quotation marks (" ") or indented beyond the margin. The source of all quotations must be acknowledged in the text or in a footnote.
