academic honesty

Any work that falls under the university guidelines for plagiarism will be given the grade of F. You should save all process-related information to document the academic integrity of your work. You may be asked to produce the actual objects used in your photography which the work was printed.

Work done for the class may not be submitted to any other course for evaluation or credit. Likewise, the work submitted for the course must be executed specifically for the class and not part of a project for any current or past course.

Check with your instructor for proper citing of sources. The simplist is to: provide: title of piece, date, author or artist, book, date of publication, and page number.

What is Plagiarism and Why is it Important?
In college courses, we are continually engaged with other people’s ideas: we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important that we give credit where it is due. Plagiarism is using others’ ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.
How can Students Avoid Plagiarism?
To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use:
- another person’s idea, opinion, or theory
- any facts, statistics, graphs, drawings a³ any pieces of information a³ that are not common knowledge
- quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words or
- paraphrase of another person’s spoken or written words.
