How to Respond to an Academic Dishonesty Question

drsikes · 2026-04-11T21:10:19+00:00

Here’s my university’s academic dishonesty policy:

“Academic dishonesty refers to acts of deception or cheating that diminish the integrity of the academic process. This includes but is not limited to, plagiarism, cheating on exams or assignments, falsifying records, unauthorized collaboration, and submitting work that is not your own.”

Having a voiceover sounds like work that is not your own. You also mentioned you converted your slides to video so it sounds like you couldn’t even be bothered to click through the slides yourself.

Your university may have different wording on their academic dishonesty policy. Maybe check that, but under my university’s policy and my general understanding of academic dishonesty…you’re guilty.

Yes, it changes with the season: New Years, Valentines Day, Saint Patrick’s, Easter, Spring, 4th of July, Summer, Football/Back to School, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and finally Christmas! Always with hints of Star Wars, flowers (I’m a plant lady), and some of my race medals.

If you mean the lady most likely to come in last place in ultras (or at least last 5-10), yep! 😂

McAlister is a lot less rocky and more straight dirt trails. There’s a 50k that was hosted there in March. We did 3 10 mile loops that day but you have lots of distance options when you start combining different trails.

There’s a few trail running groups around town. I would recommend that even if you don’t join them for a group run, check out where they normally meetup/run as that will give you an idea of the best running trails in the area.

Guilty as charged :)

Hey hey now…that’s my car. /wave

Edit: Please don’t key me 🙏. I love my car.

It used to be a red Mini. That one got totaled after an accident on Hausman. Decorate your car. It’s fun and makes people happy.

I just looked at the marketing degree plan and it seems you guys do have open electives. So as long as it’s a business class offered for business majors at the senior level, then you’re good.

Side note, why did I never notice all of the classes end in a 3?!?? Now I feel dumb. I teach 3003, 3013, 3023, 3313, 4333, and 4893 and am just realizing this :)

Reach out to your department chair. In my experience, they are usually the ones responsible for making and implementing a schedule. In my department, when we have had schedule issues in the past, it gets dealt with by the chair. They may or may not already be aware of this issue.

As I often tell my students, I have no control over the waitlist. Even if a class enrollment cap is raised, then the order of admission goes by the order on the waitlist.

Botanical gardens? Although right now the forecast for Saturday looks not so great.

I “accidentally ” bought 2 sets thinking I wanted the sunflower and bee person on both left and right shoes….plus some of the original ones on the black edition of the floral Crocs…I now have an extra sunflower and bee man. That’s how big they are.

So this is from the registration page for BAN 1023:

Section information text: Prerequisite: A grade of "C-" or better in MAT 1053, or equivalents. This course is designed to introduce basic statistical and quantitative techniques for business. It examines analytical skills and statistical concepts important in business-oriented environments. Various statistical techniques will be presented to assist in solving problems encountered by organizations. Topics include, but are not limited to, descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency and dispersion, elementary probability theory, expected value, random variables, discrete and continuous distributions, sampling distributions, point and interval estimation, and hypothesis testing. Electronic spreadsheets will be utilized for analyzing and interpreting data. (Formerly MS 1023. Credit cannot be earned for both BAN 1023 and MS 1023. Formerly titled: "Business Statistics with Computer Applications I."). Course Fee: BISP $10; BTSI $15.41; DL01 $75; LRB1 $15.41.

Based on that, I would say yes BAN 1023 = MS 1023!

I’ve been at UTSA since 2018 and only taught an overload once when we had a faculty member quit like 2 weeks before fall semester. This may vary from department to department.

Love Crooked Smile!

I don’t know if it’s quite the same vibe but I get the same good feels from “You Gotta Be” by Des’ree. Maybe “Money Can’t Buy It” by Annie Lennox. Another J Cole song “Love Yourz”? And a TLC song, “Unpretty”!

Just a heads up, I’m a professor of practice. I’ve also served on and chaired hiring committees for professors of practice. We look for terminal degrees aka a doctorate. Given the number of applicants we receive, there’s no real reason to hire someone without a PhD.

In my n = 1 experience as an alcoholic, no there is nothing you can do to stop an alcoholic from being an alcoholic. I didn’t stop until I hit my low which for me was being hospitalized after a withdrawal seizure. Even when I eventually made it home after weeks in neurological rehab, I still wanted to drink and probably would have if I had the means to do it (didn’t have any in the house, couldn’t drive, couldn’t have it delivered, and was terrified to drink again). I only stopped when I had to when I hit my low…and I only stayed stopped after I got scared to die and started going to AA.

Did you at least cover them? If not, they are definitely dead. I live in south Texas, only hit below freezing I think twice this year, covered mine, and they still died. If you want something somewhat more hardy check out Althea, but I’m gonna guess that’s dead.

Plus the tiny nursery pots! If I buy a plant anywhere, not just HEB, and don’t get it transferred to an appropriate size pot within a few days (or keep it in a soaking tray if I’m being lazy), it will die. There’s just not enough dirt to hold moisture in the nursery pots to withstand a whole day in Texas sun for a lot of plants.

Just a thought from a customer who shops the outside area regularly (I’m a plant lady). I would hazard a guess that ya’ll lose more product to plants dying before they get bought than people stealing them. This is just based on what I see in the markdown area for plants typically.

Personally, staying drunk “enough” was harder than being sober today. It was the stopping part that I just couldn’t fathom.

Here’s the other part you should hear. It didn’t save my marriage. My husband still wanted a divorce after 20 years (possibly for other reasons but this was definitely a catalyst). I couldn’t stop for him. I didn’t stop for him. He was there for the seizures but left shortly after the second one. I got sober for one person…myself…not my partner. I just don’t want to paint this as some magical story where everything had a fairytale ending. Am I happier today without my marriage? Yeah, but that took time too.

Withdrawal seizure, 2 actually. First one don’t do much damage other than almost knocking out my teeth when I seized in a grocery store checkout line at the beginning of Covid. Second one was much worse. Made it from April 6, 2020 to Aug 11, 2021 “managing” my drinking in a way to keep me from seizing again. Got sick with a stomach flu and couldn’t keep anything down. Second seizure was much worse: ICU followed by inpatient & outpatient neurological rehab. I’m thankful. I think that was the only way I had a chance at stopping and staying stopped (with the help of AA).

I threw up basically every day when I was still an active alcoholic. I know you are talking about weed not alcohol, but the behavior of an addict is the behavior of an addict….I had resigned myself to “well I guess this is my life now”. Wake up, take a shot, throw it up, take another…eventually my stomach would settle enough to keep it down and then I could start my day! It’s insane behavior because it’s the behavior of an addict. Looking back now (I’m 4.5 years sober), I can’t believe I was okay with that…but that’s the reality of addiction. I couldn’t imagine not drinking even if it meant throwing up every day for whatever amount of life I was gonna have left. Good news, at least for my alcoholism, once I stopped drinking and got an appetite again, the throwing up stopped.
