Plagiarism is the stealing of another person’s work and calling it your own. This is anything that you find online, or through another way, and you copy without giving the person credit. This can include getting test answers from someone else.
Please remember that I always want to know what you know, not what someone online or your friend knows. Plagiarism is not allowed in any school, and will result in a zero for the grade.
If you are unsure if you are plagiarizing please ask before turning in your assignment. I will not get mad at you if you are unsure, but I will be upset if you do it on purpose or don't ask. I would much rather fix the problem ahead of time, then give you a zero.
Stealing is never acceptable in my classroom, and this includes stealing something from online. Always give me your own ideas, and if you are using someone else's thoughts for an assignment, rewrite it in your own words and provide me a source.
