Any work that you submit to me must be your own; in addition, any words, ideas, or data that you borrow from another person(s) and include in your work must be properly documented. Failing to do either of these things is considered plagiarism.
The University of Delaware protects the rights of all students by insisting that individual students act with integrity, and, accordingly, severely penalizes plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty.
I encourage you to acquaint yourself both with the University's Policy on Academic Dishonesty (in the Student Guide to Policies) and with pages 258-261 in the LBH. If you have any questions on this important matter, please see me.
