“The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Alberta</strong> is committed to the highest standards <strong>of</strong> academic integrity and<br />

honesty. <strong>St</strong>udents are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty<br />

and to uphold the policies <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> in this respect. <strong>St</strong>udents are particularly urged to<br />

familiarize themselves with the provision <strong>of</strong> the Code <strong>of</strong> <strong>St</strong>udent Behaviour (online at<br />

www.ualberta.ca/secretariat/appeals.htm) and avoid any behaviour which could potentially result<br />

in suspicions <strong>of</strong> cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation <strong>of</strong> facts and/or participation in an<br />

<strong>of</strong>fence. Academic dishonesty is a serious <strong>of</strong>fence and can result in suspension or expulsion from<br />

the <strong>University</strong>.” (<strong>University</strong> Calendar, Addendum Page, June 13, 2012: 23.4 (2)(a)(xii))<br />

“Whether we know it or not--whether we like it or not – each <strong>of</strong> us has a worldview.<br />

These worldviews function as interpretive conceptual schemes to explain why we "see"<br />

the world as we do, why we <strong>of</strong>ten think and act as we do. Competing worldviews <strong>of</strong>ten<br />

come into conflict.”<br />

Ronald H. Nash, Faith and Reason (1988): 33-34
