What is Plagiarism

The Cedarburg School District regards academic honesty as a cornerstone of its educational mission. It is expected that all school work submitted for the purpose of meeting course or class requirements represents the original efforts of the individual student. As stated in school board policy, students will not:

•  plagiarize in written, creative or oral work. (Plagiarism is using the ideas of another as one's own without acknowledgment of the source.) 

• submit work that is not original. Copying, "borrowing" from another source and giving it as one's own work, and resubmitting work from another person or another class are all unacceptable practices. 

• give or receive unauthorized assistance on exams. 

• alter grades or other academic records, give false information or forge. 

• submit identical work in more than one course without the prior approval of the instructor. Students may further develop previous work with prior approval of the instructor. 

• steal a copy of a test, grade book, or teacher’s manual.
