Students are required to uphold the academic integrity of the institution. This includes plagiarism. Plagiarism is the dishonest presentation of the work of others as if it were one’s own. Violation of this policy can lead to a failing grade for the assignment to a failing grade for the course, depending on the specifics of the violation.
Examples are:
- using the exact words of another writer in part of a paper without both citation and quotation marks (or block indentation in the case of longer quotations)
- Cutting and pasting material from Internet or other electronic resources without proper citation of sources
- Including the paraphrased or summarized idea of another writer without acknowledging its source
- Submitting for credit a complete paper or portion of a paper written by another person, no matter whether the paper was purchased, shared freely, stolen, found or acquired by other means
- If identical labs are submitted, no credit will be given to either student.
