Plagiarism:

The Woodbridge Township Board of Education recognizes that plagiarism is a serious issue in education today. Plagiarism results when there is an intentional representation of another’s ideas, words, or work as one’s own without giving proper credit to the originator of the information or material. Examples of plagiarism include but are not limited to the following:  Copying the words or ideas of others from the internet, books, magazine articles, and other sources without quotation or citing the source.

Additionally, students will be in violation of this policy if actions are taken to circumvent counter-plagiarism software and/or procedures.  Paraphrasing a source without proper citation.  Copying or paraphrasing the words or idea of other students, parents, siblings, or other family members and friends. The original writer who shares his/her paper for another to view and/or copy, without the permission of the teacher, is also engaged in plagiarism.  Copying or representing the academic work of others including any assignment as if it were your own.  Submitting purchased papers as your own.  Recycling and reusing previously submitted assignments, also known as self-plagiarism. Assignments are intended to enhance a student’s learning. By submitting a similar paper and/or parts of a paper, copying or paraphrasing passages from previous work, and/or recycling old data, students are choosing not to take part in that learning activity and are essentially opting out of the work assigned in the course

The penalty of plagiarism is a grade of a zero (0) on the assignment with no make-up permitted. The teacher may also report the incident to the student’s parents/guardians, guidance counselor and the school administrators. A parental conference with school officials may also be required.
