Intellectual Property

  1.          Intellectual Property Issues.  You may not misappropriate the intellectual property of a member of the Faculty, another student, an online resource or other source even if you paid for them to do your work. 

Ideas and course content in this course are the intellectual property of the author irrespective of whether they are written in a book, course online content, course lectures or a paper.    Kennesaw State University prohibits the misappropriation of intellectual property (which is a form of theft), which can result in discipline for a student, up to and including dismissal from the University.  If the student is also a member of a profession with an applied code of ethics, it may additionally result in professional discipline, as well as subjecting the student to any civil legal remedies protecting intellectual property. 

 

  1.          Copyright Law. It is the responsibility of KSU faculty and students to respect the rights of copyright holders and comply with copyright law. Students, faculty, and staff must comply with limited exclusive rights of copyright holders as set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 106, the application of the four fair use factors in 17 U.S.C. § 107, and other copyright exceptions.

 

  1.          Electronic Recording.  You may not record or disseminate any electronically recorded class discussion unless given explicit permission by the instructor in writing.   If a student needs to electronically record a course as a result of a recognized disability or other exceptionality, the student should contact the University’s DisAbled Student Support Services to develop an appropriate reasonable accommodation.
