Plagiarism
Plagiarism is literary theft and a betrayal of
trust. The term is derived from the Latin word for kidnapper and refers
to the act of signing one's own name to words, phrases, or ideas, which
are the literary property of another. Plagiarism comes in many forms,
all to be avoided: outright copying or disguised use of words and
phrases from an unacknowledged source. This includes copying and
pasting from any online source. To avoid Plagiarism, students are
encouraged to make it their habit to put quotation marks around words
and phrases, or to isolate and indent longer passages that you are
using from someone else's writing. Students can cite the source in a
footnote/endnote, or within parentheses in your text. The penalties for
Plagiarism can be severe: from an F for the particular assignment, to
an F for the course, and to referral of the case to the Dean of
Undergraduate Education for administrative judgment.
