Plagiarism and Cheating:

Plagiarism is the unauthorized use of or close imitation of the language and

thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original
work. Plagiarism is unacceptable and will be treated no differently than cheating.
Proven cases of plagiarism and/or cheating will result in a “0” grade
for the project and student will not be able to make up the missed
points. This class will cover the appropriate way to use another author’s work
without plagiarizing and all students will be responsible for citing their sources in
each written work.
