Plagiarism
There is no simpler way to say this: any work that you hand in must be your own. If not,
you will automatically fail the class and you will be reported to the Dean. It’s not worth
it—do your own work. What is plagiarism? According to the Undergraduate Catalog of
William Paterson University, plagiarism is "the copying from a book, article, notebook,
video, or other source material, whether published or unpublished, without proper credit
through the use of quotation marks, footnotes, and other customary means of identifying
sources, or passing off as one's own the ideas, words, writings, programs, and experiments
of another, whether or not such actions are intentional or unintentional." It further describes
that "plagiarism will also include submitting, without the consent of the professor, an
assignment already tendered for academic credit in another course." (Undergraduate
Catalog, William Paterson University, 2021
