Plagiarism

Cheating, even if unintended, will not be tolerated in this class. To be clear, plagiarism involves presenting someone else’s work as your own. In its most common form, plagiarism is lifting verbatim excerpts from any source (e.g., print media, the Internet, etc.) without providing appropriate acknowledgement or citation. Any student suspected of plagiarism will fail the course and the case will be remanded immediately to the Academic Integrity Board. Please note: once a case is submitted to this board, it is out of my hands. Please know that plagiarism is almost as easy to detect, as it is to commit. See me immediately with any questions about what kinds of source usage constitute plagiarism. (See the Student Handbook for details on violations and disciplinary actions, e.g., Article IV. Violations: Section 1. Cheating; Section 2: Plagiarism.)
