Except in emergency circumstances, one's presence in class is expected. It applies to verbatim quotations and paraphrases equally. Plagiarism violates the fundamental trust underlying all academic work, that the work be the product of the student who submitted it. Plagiarism is a serious offence not to be taken lightly, and offenders will receive a maximum penalty or permanent expulsion. Because I support the sentiment expressed above, I will vigorously pursue prosecution of plagiarists to the very limit of punishment allowed by the college.
Ignorance is no defense.
