How can you guard against plagiarism?


 * When information comes from sources, record relevant documentation in your notes (book and article titles; URLs on the Web)
 * If you're interviewing via email, retain copies of the interview subject's emails as well as the ones you send in reply
 * Quote no more material than is necessary; if a short phrase from a source will suffice, don't quote an entire paragraph
 * Check your paraphrase or summary against sentence and paragraph structure, as copying those is also considered plagiarism

What is the college policy on plagiarism?

__Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism__ Academic dishonesty violates the spirit and purpose of an academic community, and is therefore subject to disciplinary action. Academic dishonesty includes cheating on exams, submitting work that is not yours or allowing someone to copy your work, falsifying or inventing information you present, and submitting unauthorized duplicated work. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, using someone else‟s work as your own, citing a passage copied from a book, article, internet site, or other sources without giving credit to the author, and failing to cite another author‟s ideas. If I find that you have committed an act of dishonesty or have plagiarized material, I will assign a failing grade for that assignment. If the occurrence is during an examination, you will receive a zero and must leave the room. []
 * Acts of dishonesty and plagiarism may be referred to the Dean of General Education for further action. **
