Academic integrity: Kean University places a high premium upon academic excellence and treats academic dishonesty as a very serious offense, one that warrants severe penalties. Plagiarism and other forms of dishonesty will not be tolerated and can result in a final course grade of F and possible disciplinary action which may include expulsion from the college.
Plagiarism is the practice of using another's words as one's own. Students are encouraged to make use of the ideas of others in their writing; they must, however, honor their sources with references that will lead a reader to the source in order that he or she may further explore the ideas identified and/or quoted in the work.
A rule of thumb to determine whether you need to cite a source: if you use three or more words in a row from a source without proper credit, you are guilty of plagiarism. This rule applies to all sources, including those you receive in this class, your textbook, and any other material you find useful to your work. If in doubt, quote and annotate.
No grade of Incomplete will be given for this course.

Academic integrity: Kean University places a high premium upon academic excellence and treats academic dishonesty as a very serious offense, one that warrants severe penalties. Plagiarism and other forms of dishonesty will not be tolerated and can result in a final course grade of F and possible disciplinary action which may include expulsion from the college.
Plagiarism is the practice of using another's words as one's own. Students are encouraged to make use of the ideas of others in their writing; they must, however, honor their sources with references that will lead a reader to the source in order that he or she may further explore the ideas identified and/or quoted in the work.
A rule of thumb to determine whether you need to cite a source: if you use three or more words in a row from a source without proper credit, you are guilty of plagiarism. This rule applies to all sources, including those you receive in this class, your textbook, and any other material you find useful to your work. If in doubt, quote and annotate.
No grade of Incomplete will be given for this course.
