The plagiarism policy in this class
is the same as in virtually every other class. It is a simple
policy. It goes like this:
Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
No written material longer than three or four consecutive words
may be copied from another source without a full citation crediting
that source. Citations should include the author, title, date
and publication information regarding the source.
If an assignment (this includes
study questions, research projects, online exams, etc) contains
any plagiarised material -- whether that material is taken from
books, from the internet, or from another student -- that assignment
will receive a failing grade, and the student will receive a
warning.
If such plagiarism occurs more
than once in the course, the student will receive a failing grade
for the course.
Just one footnote here for your information:
Instructors are able to run plagiarism scans on any student papers about which they may be suspicious The scan programs - there are several available
- search through the entire internet, web, and all online resources to see if
there are any matches for plagiarized sentences, phrases, or paragraphs in that
paper anywhere on the internet. If there are, the programs report back to the
instructor where the matches for those sentences or paragraphs can be found.
