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 />
