Avoiding Plagiarism

No matter the size of the written work or project, originality and honesty is very important. Be sure that you submit only your own work for every writing assignment in this course and that you avoid plagiarism carefully.

CalPac Plagiarism Resources

Please navigate to the CalPac page on plagiarism resources and be sure to look at our school's policy regarding this very serious offense .

Avoiding Plagiarism & Citing Sources

Please be aware that the school uses Turnitin, an online tool that screens written work for originality and potential plagiarism. If there is an indication work submitted is not your own, I will check by submitting that work to Turnitin to obtain a similarity rating. If work is plagiarized, the Cal-Pac policy will be implemented so make sure you're familiar with those steps.
