Plagiarism
University policy is that any student determined to have plagiarised may receive disciplinary action, up to and including, failure of the entire course. Students found guilty of multiple pieces of plagiarism may receive disciplinary action, up to and including, dismissal from the university. By English Departmental policy, any act of plagiarism is grounds for failure of the entire course not just the piece plagiarized. I have and will enforce this policy.
However, I recognize that in web classes it is extremely easy to be deliberately or accidentally guilty of plagiarism. If you need help to do an assignment please contact me rather than resort to plagiarism. If you need information that will explain what constitutes plagiarism, contact me. Many people are not aware that the theft of someone else's ideas is just as much plagiarism as the theft of their words. I will help you, contact me. Yes, I have failed people for plagiarism and hated doing it. However, I also hate the ideas that (1) a student is unable or unwilling to express his/her ideas and (2) someone's fraudulent submission is being compared to someone's real work. Let's not have to go there--I will help you with assignments and/or work with the materials you found from sources.
