Referencing and avoiding plagiarism
Plagiarism is when you copy someone else’s work and present it as your own, either unintentionally or deliberately. Plagiarism, or copying someone else’s work, is cheating. By stealing someone else’s work and passing it off as your own, you lose academic integrity and the respect of others.
Plagiarism could be:
Copying the work of another student
Copying from textbooks, the Web and other work without correct citation
Failing to acknowledge sources including your own work, used for other purposes. When direct quotations are used, they must be indicated and when the ideas of another are incorporated into the paper, they must be appropriately acknowledged.
Plagiarism is a violation of the academic honesty policy. There will be a zero-tolerance policy in this course regarding any acts of plagiarism. Â Act of plagiarism will result in removal from the class and the issuance of a FAILING GRADE
