STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM Prof. Hansen / Spring 2007

1. The CUNY policy on academic integrity states that:

Plagiarism is the act of presenting another person’s ideas, research or writings as your own.

Internet plagiarism includes submitting downloaded term papers or parts of term papers, paraphrasing or copying information from the internet without citing the source, and “cutting & pasting” from various sources without proper attribution.

2. Some rules to follow to avoid plagiarism are:

· Place any direct quote from a source in quotation marks and note it in parentheses or in a footnote.

· When paraphrasing the words of a source, supply a footnote or a note in parentheses.

· If you use sources other than the texts assigned for the course, provide a bibliography at the end of your paper. Include in this bibliography all web sites which you used in writing your paper.

3. The penalty for plagiarism is a grade of zero on the assignment and a total reduction of 20% in the final course grade. No rewrites or make-ups of plagiarized assignments are allowed.

4. All cases of plagiarism will be reported to the Dean of Student Affairs and will become part of the student’s permanent record.
