Plagiarism / Academic Dishonesty Policy: Plagiarism and academic dishonesty are serious offenses. The academic work of a student

words, even if the source is cited, is also plagiarism. Students who commit any act of academic dishonesty will receive a failing grade
in that portion of the course work. Acts of academic dishonesty will be reported to the administration.
