Plagiarism

• Plagiarism is the act of stealing words or ideas from a source and acting as if those words or thoughts were your own. It is not tolerated in this class.

• I submit everything to www.turnitin.com.• In addition, submitting work for this class

and another class is considered academic plagiarism because you are supposed to do original work for each class.
