Plagiarism: Definition and Penalties

Plagiarism: Plagiarism is taking credit for someone else's words or ideas. This includes, but is not limited to, copying out of a book or off a web page without giving proper credit, minimally rewording or rearranging sentences from a book or web page, passing off another's idea or solution as your own, and copied assignments. All direct quotes must be placed in quotation marks and the source must be immediately referenced.

The minimum penalty for plagiarism is a zero on the work in question and the maximum is a failing grade in the class.

I have received a copy of the definition plagiarism as related to this class, and I was present when the instructor discussed the contents. If I was not present, I have received a copy of the plagiarism statement, and have had an opportunity to read it and ask questions about it. I understand that this applies to all work done in class including homework, tests and term projects.
