Academic integrity is important.
Anything that undermines the evaluation process at McGill undermines the value of our degrees. McGill's Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures appears in the Handbook on Student Rights and Responsibilities . No student shall, with intent to deceive, represent the work of another person as his or her own in any academic writing, essay, thesis, research report, project or assignment submitted in a course or program of study or represent as his or her own an entire essay or work of another, whether the material so represented constitutes a part or the entirety of the work submitted. When you do use another person's words, use quotation marks and give credit to the source, either within the text or in a footnote. Don't make slight variations in the language and then fail to give credit to the source.
