Academic Rules

1. Plagiarism

This means that you have added someone else’s work into your own work without referencing it. Referencing means writing down where you got the information. Your teacher will tell you what format you should use to reference your work.

How to avoid plagiarism:

• Acknowledge all sources of information (write where you got the information/facts)

• Provide references for someone else’s written work and ideas including: pictures, diagrams, maps, charts, etc.

• Do not lend your work to another student

• Seek help from your teacher and/or teacher-librarian for your research needs

2. Cheating

This means:

• Giving or receiving information or assistance during an exam or a test without permission from the course teacher.

• Giving or receiving exam or test answers without permission from the course teacher.

• Presenting a single piece of work in more than one course without the permission of the teachers involved.
