Academic dishonesty is a corrosive force in
the academic life of a university
community.
– University of Maryland, College Park, 1997 www.testudo.umd.edu/soc/dishonesty.html
I always give credit to the original
author when I:
• quote phrases
• summarize material
• paraphrase
• use an idea (interpretation, opinion,
conclusion)
• copy data, graphs, photographs,
table of information, examples,
experiments or surveys
• use a multimedia source (films,
television, radio, music, internet,
etc.)
An academic community of integrity
fosters a climate of mutual trust,
encourages the free exchange of ideas, and
enables all to reach their highest potential – www.academicintegrity.org/pdf/FVProject.pdf
I do not have to give credit when I:
• use my own data, words, ideas
(interpretations, opinions,
conclusions)
• develop my own experiments and
surveys
• use common knowledge (if in doubt,
cite!)
Don’t compromise your academic future.
Plagiarism, and cheating in tests and
exams, will be dealt with fairly, but strictly.
I believe it is wrong to:
• look at another person’s paper in an
examination or a test
• hand in a paper for credit in more
than one class
• falsify information, bibliographies
• use cheat sheets or unauthorized
material in an examination or test
• use unauthorized electronic devices
during an examination or test
• buy or sell an essay or piece of work
• have someone do an assignment or
write an examination/test for me
• lend a computer file, assignment or
essay to anyone
• use another person’s work or ideas
without proper citation

The ability of the university to achieve its
purposes depends on the quality and
integrity of the academic work that its
faculty, staff and students perform. – “Rights, Rules, Responsibilities” Princeton University, www.princeton.edu/pr/pub/rrr/05/01.htm
Plagiarism is stealing a ride on someone
else’s train of thought. – Unknown
