Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism

It is your responsibility to ensure that all of your written work conforms to the University’s standards of academic honesty. Plagiarism is not only copying others’ work; any improperly documented use of ideas can constitute plagiarism. Please consult the discussion of plagiarism and academic honesty in Doing Honest Work in College: How to Prepare Citations, Avoid Plagiarism, and Achieve Real Academic Success. If you have not been given this book, please let me know and I will obtain a copy for you. It is crucial that you are familiar with these standards, and it is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with them. If these standards are in any way unclear to you, please consult with me. Any undocumented use of another person’s ideas constitutes plagiarism. This includes copying another text word for word. It also includes summarizing and paraphrasing a source without citation, or presenting as your own an argument that you heard elsewhere. Please note as well that copying non-copyrighted material (such as Wikipedia) also constitutes plagiarism. Academic dishonesty includes buying papers online, outsourcing your academic work to someone else (paid or unpaid), and submitting the same paper to more than one course. This is not an exhaustive list of the acts that constitute academic dishonesty and plagiarism. If you are uncertain about how or whether to cite your sources, please contact me. Academic dishonesty is a very serious offense, even if it is unintentional. Any form of plagiarism may result in immediate failure of this course and disciplinary action.
