PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is defined as providing material from an uncredited source, or without the acknowledgement of the original author. For longer submissions and reports, students are required to provide an Assignment Cover Sheet, which states that submission is their original work, and has not been submitted for another assignment, either in that course, or another

Plagiarism may have many forms including but not limited to:

• Outright copying another author’s work without acknowledgement
• Cut and paste without the correct citation and acknowledgement
• Copying key words but changing the sentence structure without crediting the original source
• Copying the sentence structure but changing some words without crediting the original source
• Following the structure or organization of another author’s work, or order of presentation of ideas
• Submitting work that was created by an unacknowledged third party (i.e., writing service, or another student)
• Copying from published authorities without acknowledgement
• Failure to correctly use quotation marks when expressing another author’s idea
• Incorrect or improper use of in-text citation and referencing
• Missing or incorrectly presented bibliography or reference list
