Course Description:

PLAGIARISM
Basically, plagiarism is using other's work as if it was yours.  You may not realize it, but certain practices lead others to conclude that other's works are your own.  Here are some of these practices:
1. Using someone's exact words and not putting quotation marks around them, which means the reader has no way of understanding this is not the work of the author.
2. Using someone's work and not attributing the source.
3. Paraphrasing so closely (same order of sentences, same order of paragraphs, same order of sections), with merely a word substituted here and there. This indicates that the work is really still someone else's. The intellectual work of re-thinking the meaning wasn't done. This is true even if the source is given.
4. Cut 'N Paste: Using parts of several people's work, which some think is original - Not! The sum of sentences from other authors doesn't make the combination original.  Plagiarism will not be tolerated in this course.  According to section 8.27.17 of the Faculty Senate regulations, the instructor will forward any case of plagiarism to the Dean's Office. If you have any doubt, please check with the instructor.
