Plagiarism is the presentation of another person's work as your own, whether you mean to or not . Allowing another writer to write any part of your essay is plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious crime. Suspected students will be called before the Vice President of Student Affairs for disciplinary action. Students are given an incomplete for the course until the case is resolved.
Plagiarism is easy to avoid.
Simply acknowledge the source of any words, phrases, or ideas that you use. If you are not sure how to quote or paraphrase a source or if you need help with the format of endnotes or bibliographies, check with me. Make sure that your electronic devices will not make noise while in class. If you must respond to a vitally important message, you must do so outside the classroom. It is the responsibility of students to make up for any class discussion missed while responding to electronic messages.
