Plagiarism
  
11/4/04

The following is taken from FIT's Students Rights and Responsibilities Manual: Campus Code of Conduct

Plagiarism is presenting someone else's ideas, words, or work as your own. Students using someone else's work, ideas, intellectual or artistic property must identify and acknowledge the sources within their work.

Examples of plagiarism include but are not limited to submitting as one's own:

1. Papers, works of art, or written or design material created in whole or in part by someone else;
2. Written or design material that has been taken or copied from a website or bought;
3. Sentences, phrases, key words, or ideas used without acknowledgement;
4. Paraphrasing someone else's ideas or work without acknowledgement.

  For further information on plagiarism, penalties and the plagiarism appeals process refer to FIT's Students Rights and Responsibilities Manual: Campus Code of Conduct.

  For suggestions of appropriate format for bibliographic citations, refer to Research Guide/Research Tips:  Documenting Information: Formats for Bibliography and Footnotes.
