The University community in general and the instructor expect all students to adhere to the fundamental principles of academic honesty and integrity. Principles of academic honesty require students to take responsibility for the ideas and information presented in their work. Students should acknowledge ideas or information obtained from other authors or thinkers in footnotes formatted according to accepted procedures. If you adopt the exact words of an author, those words should be put into quotation marks with proper footnotes. If you adopt the general ideas but not the specific wording, you should indicate such a borrowing in a footnote.
Plagiarism is the term applied to the unacknowledged borrowing of words or ideas of other authors.
Any paper submitted for this course should represent critical thought that builds upon the work of others but does not simply reiterate prior thoughts. Students who abuse the principles of academic honesty and integrity may be punished according to the procedures established by the University. Plagiarism will lead to failing this class.
