If the work entails consulting other resources journals, books, other media these resources must be cited in a manner appropriate to the course. It is the instructor s responsibility to indicate the appropriate manner of citation. Everything used from other sources their ideas, their interpretations, or their language must be cited. Failure to cite borrowed material constitutes plagiarism. Academic dishonesty consists of violating the rules of academic work in general or of professional journalism in particular, including the specific rules of individual courses.
Faculty expect original work from students.
Students should not, without the instructor s knowledge and approval, submit to the journalism instructor of one course work that was done for another course. University penalties can vary from a failing grade on an assignment to failure in the course, suspension or expulsion from the university. Because the integrity of the Master of Journalism program and the professional respect for its graduates are at stake, the faculty of the Department of Journalism will make every effort to expel from the M.J. program and from the university any student who violates the above guidelines.
