  • You Quote It, You Note It!

    Plagiarism is a big deal, and it’s not something you want to find out about the hard way.  Not only is it illegal, it's unethical.

    Researching ethically is also researching efficiently: not only will you learn how to avoid plagiarism, but you’ll also pick up some good research tips too.

  • Citing Your Sources

    Failure to cite the work of others in the papers you write may result in disciplinary measures, or failure on the assignment. There are four general types of academic dishonest:y:

    • Plagiarism: "Intentionally or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as one's own in an academic exercise."
    • Cheating: "Intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise."
    • Fabrication: "Intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise."
    • Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: "Intentionally or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to commit an act of academic dishonesty."
