What is Plagiarism:
Simply put, plagiarism is improperly using someone else's wprds or
ideas in your work.You can often strengthen your arguments and
illustrate your ideas more effectively by supporting them with
quotations and support from other sources, but you must use
parenthetical references in order to avoid academic dishonesty.
Students suspected of plagiarism will be required to submit original
sources or photo copies for verification.
What Do I Have to Lose by cheating?
1. Plagiarism shows you don't care about learning.
2. Time management, and the ability to find, document and interpret
data are critical skills in the work place and in universities. If
you donn't learn these skills NOW, when will you?
3. It suggests you don't respect yourself, your classmates, or your
teacher
4. Citing sources shows you have done research and can support your
ideas
5. Often, the essays and other papers available over the internet are
of inferior quality
6. Your teachers know you and they know how you write: why risk
getting caught?
7. Trust is fragile; when you become known as a cheater people lose
trust in you
8. Plagiarism is stealing and it's illegal
