Academic Integrity Policy: Any student who plagiarizes any part of his or her work will, at a minimum, automatically receive a 0 for the assignment. Students should be aware of the Student Academic Integrity policy described in the Student Handbook and that if the policy is violated, they will be subjected to disciplinary sanctions listed in the Handbook. Plagiarism includes "copying-and-pasting" un-cited excerpts and working collaboratively with other students. Students are expected to work independently, to generate and express their own ideas about the literature, and to cite those ideas that they have borrowed from others or are using as supportive evidence.
