Academic honesty is the principle of being honest in all the work you do. In the context of M3J, an academically honest student creates their own model and reports it without cheating or presenting the work of others as their own.

If academic dishonesty is detected two hours before the submission time ends (10 AM the next day), students will be given a 2-hour window to correct their mistake. Otherwise, the M3J Team will disqualify the paper to ensure a fair playing field for everyone.

Research is encouraged and an important part of making a good model. If you ever quote, paraphrase, use an image or graph that you did not make, or reference facts that you found while researching, you MUST cite your sources. You cannot take credit for work that is not yours. For M3J, you can do this by creting a reference page in your submission.

Don’t know how to cite your research? ASK! You can email us at mmmjam.team@gmail.com to get quick help from event runners.
