Any student caught intentionally plagiarizing part or all of paper will receive a zero for that paper and for the class.

To clarify p. 20 of the Survival Kit:

The penalty for minor mishandlings of sources in work submitted for a grade will be assessed in the grade for that writing.  The penalty for plagiarism, however, will be more severe.  Plagiarism is no mistake, and if you plagiarize, you will not earn credit for the course. 

Regardless of the number of points honestly earned, any student caught intentionally plagiarizing part or all of paper submitted for a grade will receive a zero for that paper and an automatic N for this class. Additional penalties may also be imposed by the College of Arts and Sciences if this is not your first violation of academic conduct.

For more details refer to:

The p. 38-39 current Course Catalog for why “intellectual integrity is the most fundamental value of an academic community” and the penalties for academic misconduct.

Unit 1: What plagiarism is, importance of avoiding it, and the penalties for it (Survival Kit 17-22).

Unit 7: How to paraphrase, quote, and correctly cite sources without plagiarizing (Chapters 15 & 16 of Wadsworth).
