When using the Internet as a resource, be aware that much of the material has not been subjected to the the same exhaustive peer review or verification of statements as have have most printed materials. It is important to check with your instructor before including information found on the Internet in your paper. Readers will expect you to give credit where credit is due. Plagiarism is the use of words or ideas from another's work without giving proper credit. To represent, intentionally or unintentionally, the ideas of others as your own is plagiarism.
Plagiarism can result in severe academic penalty.
