Statement on plagiarism

     "Plagiarism is the representation of the words or ideas of another as one's
     own in any academic exercise. To avoid plagiarism, every direct quotation
     must be identified by quotation marks or by appropriate indentation and must
     be promptly cited in the text or in a footnote. Acknowledgment is required
     when material from another source is stored in print, electronic, or other
     medium and is paraphrased or summarized in whole or in part in one's own
     words. To acknowledge a paraphrase properly, one might state: 'To
     paraphrase Plato's comment...' and conclude with a footnote identifying the
     exact reference. A footnote acknowledging only a directly quoted statement
     does not suffice to notify the reader of any preceding or succeeding
     paraphrased material. Information which is common knowledge, such as
     names of leaders of prominent nations, basic scientific laws, etc., need not be
     footnoted; however, all facts or information obtained in reading or research
     that are not common knowledge among students in the course must be
     acknowledged. In addition to materials specifically cited in the text, only
     materials that contribute to one's general understanding of the subject may be
     acknowledged in the bibliography. Plagiarism can, in some cases, be a subtle
     issue. Any questions about what constitutes plagiarism should be discussed
     with the faculty member." (Taken from University Policy on Academic
     Integrity)
     The University has a well defined procedure for dealing with cases of
     suspected academic dishonesty (e.g. cheating on tests, plagiarism of papers).
     Individual faculty members or departments have no authority to judge such
     cases on an ad hoc basis. Specifically, we are not authorized as individuals to
     give a student a failing grade on a paper or an exam or in a course as
     punishment, but rather must report the episode for proper review. (The
     accused student has a right to due process). For further information, you may
     consult the current catalog for a statement of university policy.
