Please be advised that WOLBI utilizes a plagiarism detection software (Unicheck) that reviews every submitted assignment.

The consequence for participating in any of these types of plagiarism may include receiving a zero for the assignment, being put on a Growth and Change Plan, and/or dismissal from Word of Life Bible Institute.

AI Policy: Integrity and honesty are key biblical and theological concepts that must be applied to all areas of life and ministry including academic study. While AI tools can be beneficial for idea exploration, students must author and create all work themselves. Critical thinking, personal understanding, and implementing effective research and writing techniques are Program Learning Outcomes that cannot be achieved through the use of AI. No submitted coursework should be created by someone or something else. Inappropriate use of AI tools is in direct opposition to our plagiarism policy. The determination of what constitutes inappropriate use of AI is at the discretion of the professors and Academic Staff. F. Questions Questions will be limited during lectures due to class size. Students should only ask questions that are relevant to the whole class. Students should be careful not to monopolize class question opportunities. Disrespect to lecturers in any form will not be tolerated. Questions can be directed to the instructors between classes, but students must be sitting in their assigned seats before the second bell rings to start class. G. Classroom 1. Beverages are permitted in the classroom only if they are in a closed lid container. 2. Students should restrict eating to the WC lobby. Any trash or spills should be taken care of immediately. Snacks are to be limited to breaks only. 3. Cough drops, breath mints, and small, hard candies not on a stick are permitted in the classroom during class session. 4. Students should not prop their feet on classroom chairs, and should not have headphones or earbuds in during class. H. Classroom Policy Regarding Electronic Devices Resident Lecturer classes (those taught by Mr. Jonathan Lough and Dr. Jared August) • All electronic devices, including cell phones, laptops, and tablets must be put away during class lectures. • Laptops and tablets will only be used at the discretion of the professor. • Students are expected to take physical notes, with pen and paper in class, and will have access to professors’ notes on Canvas to refer to later for study purposes. • Illegitimate use of electronic devices in class will result in discipline points. Guest Lecturer classes (those taught by visiting professors) • While physical notetaking is encouraged, students are permitted to use laptops and tablets for notetaking and other class-related functions.
