Please see the cheating/plagiarism policy of Long Branch High School:

Cheating - Cheating takes various forms, including copying from another student , plagiarizing, using cheat sheets or other unauthorized sources, allowing others to copy, or using online research papers or language translation services.

Any form of cheating will result in a grade of zero (0) for the test or assignment for which it occurred. The consequences for plagiarism will depend on the extent of the plagiarized material used in the assignment. The teacher will contact the parent or guardian as well as the guidance counselor. Any recorded incident of cheating or plagiarism will automatically disqualify students from membership in the National Honor Society. The student will receive a zero (0) for the assignment and parent conference with the administrator or designee.

Plagiarism - Long Branch High School does not tolerate plagiarism in any form. It is the responsibility of the teacher to establish a classroom policy at the beginning of each course. The teacher will provide the students with written information regarding this policy. In addition the following school-wide guidelines on plagiarism are in effect:
It is the intent of Long Branch High School to prepare students for academic success beyond high school. In order to meet this goal it is imperative that students are aware and have knowledge of the definition of plagiarism. The definition and guidelines below are intended to help the students and staff meet the aforementioned objective.
Definition1. To steal and pass off (the ideas, words and/or images of another) as one’s own. 2. To use (a created product) without crediting the source. Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 10th ed., 1993 14
Avoid PlagiarismTo avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use

Another person’s idea, opinion or theory
Any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings-any pieces of
Information-that are not common knowledge
Quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words, or
Paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.”

Plagiarism the Internet and Electronic SourcesThe Internet has become a more popular source of information for student papers, and many questions have arisen about how to avoid plagiarizing these sources. In most cases, the same rules apply as to a printed source: when a writer must refer to ideas or quote a www site, he/she must cite the source.
