Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the theft and "use of the ideas or writing of another as one's own," or the appropriation of "passages from another and use of them as one's own" (American Heritage Dictionary, 2001). Plagiarism also applies to students who allow others to copy their work.

Students are assigned writing assignments as a learning experience or as a method for them to demonstrate their understanding of their learning . Student written work is to be original. Plagiarism is not acceptable, and all participants are subject to consequences.

Careful documentation is required on all ideas or writing that students glean from their research. This involves the use of all printed text, including the internet.

Consequences of intentional plagiarism:

The paper(s) will receive a zero.
This zero will affect the student's quarter/term/semester grade at the same weight or worth as would the paper if it received a letter grade.
Plagiarized papers cannot be made up.
