Plagiarism<br />
The MLA Handbook for Writers <strong>of</strong> Research Papers defines<br />
plagiarism as “the act <strong>of</strong> using another person’s ideas or<br />
expressions in your writing without acknowledging the<br />
source.” Copying words or ideas from any source, including<br />
another student, constitutes academic “theft,” and may result<br />
in loss <strong>of</strong> marks for the assignment, loss <strong>of</strong> marks for the entire<br />
course, or even expulsion. The same penalties will result if a<br />
student is found guilty <strong>of</strong> cheating or contributing to cheating<br />
on any test, exam, or term assignment.<br />
