Plagiarism is the use of another's ideas or words as one's own without giving the author due credit.
It is a form of stealing and will be dealt with accordingly. The papers are designed to be written without outside research. If you feel you must refer to outside sources and are unsure of the rules of citation, please check with me or refer to a handbook, such as the MLA Handbook. Papers turned in on time will receive extensive and helpful comments. Papers turned in late will be graded and will not be penalized, but will receive no comments.
