Policy on Plagiarism and Technology Rules

Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's words or ideas as if they were one's own. It is even plagiarism to change a few words and give no credit to the author. It is a serious offense, and while you should be gathering ideas from other sources, those sources must be given credit in accordance with the following guidelines:

1. If the exact words of an author are used, whether they are sentences or just phrases, quotation marks must be used and source documented.

2. If an original idea of an author is used, even if it is not copied word for word, that idea must be documented.

3. If phrases from the original work are arranged into a new pattern the source must be documented.

4. If information is found in at least three sources, it is considered common knowledge and need not be documented as long as the original wording is paraphrased, not used exactly as printed.

The following consequences will be enacted when intended plagiarism does exist:

1. A grade of Zero (0) will be given whether the assignment is a daily or major grade.

2. (2016-2017) “Cheating and/or copying (plagiarism) the work of others from any source (Internet, library resources, other student, etc.)” is considered a Level II Violation and WILL result in a referral to an administrator.
