Students who know that they must miss two or more class periods should inform the instructor. Please do not call the division office. However, the instructor need not fill students in on the class periods that they miss. Attach a cover sheet to the paper that contains the paper's title, due date, the writer's name, and the instructor's name. Number each page of the essay, starting with page 2.
Staple pages together in the upper left-hand corner.
Keep a copy. Plagiarism Top Plagiarism is using others' words or ideas without giving credit to the source. Plagiarism occurs when students use papers others have written, when students use the writing of professionals without documenting the source, or when students allow others to revise their own words and thinking so extensively that the work no longer represents the students' own thinking. Plagiarism is considered the most serious of academic offenses, and students who plagiarize knowingly or unknowingly are subject to severe penalty. A more detailed discussion of plagiarism, especially as it affects the research paper, can be found in the writing handbook.
