Plagiarism Policy:
Plagiarism is defined as the presentation of the ideas or the
writing of someone else as one's own.
Examples:
- Reproducing another person's work, whether
published or unpublished.(This also includes using materials from companies
that sell research papers.)
- Submitting as your own any academic exercise
(written work, computer printout, sculpture) prepared totally or in part by
another.
- Allowing another person to substantially
alter or revise your work and submitting it as your own.
- Using another's written ideas or words
without properly acknowledging the source. If a student uses the words of
someone else, he or she must put quotation marks around the passage and add
indication of its origin, such as a footnote. Simply changing a word or two
while leaving the organization and content substantially intact and failing
to cite the source is plagiarism. Students should also take note that failure
to acknowledge study aids such as Cliff's Notes or common reference sources
constitutes plagiarism.
- If a student is unsure about a question
of plagiarism or cheating, he or she is obligated to consult his or her instructor
on the matter before submitting the material. If you have any questions, consult
the Office of University Judiciaries.
