AVOID PLAGIARISM

• What is plagiarism and how to avoid it.
• You are not allowed to copy somebody else's work without proper acknowledgement.
• You must acknowledge your sources for all library material and/or software sources used.
• You must write the project and perform the experiments on your own.
• Plagiarizing will have very severe reprecussions for the student!

Plagiarism and Academic Integrity

• Plagiarism and cheating at the graduate level are viewed as being particularly serious and the sanctions imposed are accordingly severe. Students are expected to familiarize themselves with and follow the Carleton University Student Academic Integrity Policy. The Policy is strictly enforced and is binding on all students. Plagiarism and cheating – presenting another’s ideas, arguments, words or images as your own, using unauthorized material, misrepresentation, fabricating or misrepresenting research data, unauthorized co-operation or collaboration or completing work for another student – weaken the quality of the graduate degree. Academic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Students who infringe the Policy may be subject to one of several penalties including: expulsion; suspension from all studies at Carleton; suspension from full-time studies; a refusal of permission to continue or to register in a specific degree program; academic probation; or a grade of Failure in the course.
