Composition Condition Writing skills are extremely important for professional social workers. All social work courses emphasize development of good writing ability. Students who receive two CC marks before completing 110 credit hours at WCU will be required to pass ENGL 300 before they will be eligible for graduation. The Department of Social Work expects all students to adhere to WCU s Academic Honesty Policy. Any violation of this policy by a social work student may jeopardize continuation in the Social Work Program.
Plagiarism is one form of academic dishonesty.
Other forms of plagiarism are less well known, such as taking ideas from readings and putting them in a paper without citations or references. Any borrowed ideas, even paraphrased ideas, must be given credit by showing the sources with an appropriate citation or reference. The complete text of WCU s Academic Honesty Policy may be found in the WCU Student Handbook. This includes avoidance of the use of language that degrades women, people of color, gays, lesbian, bisexuals, and transgender and other diverse or at-risk populations. Don't hand in someone else's paper as your own.
