Academic
Honesty and Plagiarism: Definition
of Plagiarism (from Student Handbook)
"Plagiarism
means the use of another's words as if they were your own, and the
unacknowledged
incorporation of those words in one's own work offered for credit. The following guidelines for written work will
assist
the student in avoiding plagiarism:
a) General indebtedness for background information and
data is acknowledged
by inclusion of a bibliography of all works consulted.
b) Specific indebtedness for a particular idea, or for
a quotation
of four or more words from another text, is acknowledged by footnote
reference
to the actual source. Quotations of 4 -5
words or more from a text are indicated by the use of quotation marks."
Honesty
is expected of you. It is expected that
the work
you hand in will always be your own, and that you will never copy
sentences,
phrases, paragraphs or whole essays from any other person's work, for
that
is plagiarism. Plagiarism is dishonest,
and against
both University policy and my own. If you
are
ever unclear about how to cite another person or author's ideas, come
see
me or consult the staff in the Writing Center. We
can help you do this correctly. It's
important
to understand that plagiarism is a big deal in this university and in
my class. Don't make this mistake. Students
who are caught plagiarizing will fail the course and be referred to the
Dean
of Student's office for disciplinary sanctions.
