Speak your mind, but remember that alienating people prevents persuasion, while being civil builds community. Using reason builds community. To plagiarize is to present as your own any work that is not exclusively your own. Plagiarism of all or a portion of any assignment will be strictly penalized. See the Guide to Composition for more information on plagiarism.
Penalties can range from no credit for the assignment to failing the course.
Repeated offenses can lead to your expulsion from the university.
