In all assignments, it is the expectation that students create and complete their own original work. Any unoriginal work is considered academic dishonesty; this includes cheating and plagiarism. Plagiarism is taking someone else’s words or ideas without giving the source credit. All students are provided instruction on academic honesty and plagiarism. If a student is caught plagiarizing: the first offense (across all disciplines) will result in a maximum grade of 59% if the assignment is redone, as outlined in the student handbook. Further disciplinary actions may follow in accordance with the student handbook.
