PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is any misrepresentation in the use of another's work, especially as that misrepresentation gives the impression that the student is presenting his or her own work.  Plagiarism is the use of exact words, phrases, or sentences of another person’s work without quotation marks and proper documentation.  Plagiarism is also paraphrasing in which a student makes a composite of borrowed phrases, ideas, or sentences without proper documentation.  Confirmed plagiarism may result in class failure and dismissal from the graduate program.

CHEATING

Cheating is a form of stealing that is considered academic misconduct.  Confirmed cheating may result in class failure and dismissal from the graduate program. Some examples of cheating are: 

1. Turning in someone else's work as your own (with or without his or her knowledge). Turning in a completely duplicated assignment is a flagrant offense, but even copying only a portion of the assignment and turning it in as your own is considered cheating.
   
2. Allowing someone else to turn in your work as his or her own.
   
3. Several people writing one paper, or other work, and turning in multiple copies, all represented (implicitly or explicitly) as individual work.
   
4. Using any part of someone else's work without proper acknowledgement.
   
5. Submitting falsified application information or someone else's application as your own
   
6. Stealing an examination or a solution from the instructor. This is an extremely flagrant offense.
