A malfunctioning computer or printer is not an acceptable excuse for a late paper. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, fabricating information or citations, facilitating acts of dishonesty by others, having unauthorized possession of examinations, submitting work of another person or work previously used without informing the instructor, or tampering with the academic work of others.
Plagiarism means presenting as one's own, the work, ideas, or words of someone else.
It occurs when one uses the exact language of someone else without placing the words in quotations and identifying the original author. Plagiarism also occurs when the arrangement of the material of the pattern of thought of someone else is offered as your own, even if it is expressed in your own words. The use of some else's researched and written report as your own is a clear-cut case of plagiarism. Students will provide an outline for each of the assigned chapters from Lewis et al. Each outline should include a description of all the important concepts discussed within the chapter.
