Plagiarism

• Plagiarism is a form of cheating. At CSUS
  plagiarism is the use of distinctive ideas or
  works belonging to another person without
  providing adequate acknowledgement of that
  persons contribution. Regardless of the means of
  appropriation, incorporation of anothers work
  into ones own requires adequate identification
  and acknowledgement. Plagiarism is doubly
  unethical because it deprives the author of
  rightful credit and gives credit to someone who
  has not earned it. Acknowledgement is not
  necessary when the material used is common
  knowledge. Plagiarism at CSUS includes but is not
  limited to

• 1.      The act of incorporating into ones own
  work the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or
  parts thereof, or the specific substance of
  anothers work without giving appropriate credit
  thereby representing the product as entirely
  one's own. Examples include not only
  word-for-word copying, but also the "mosaic"
  (i.e., interspersing a few of ones own words
  while, in essence, copying anothers work), the
  paraphrase (i.e., rewriting anothers work while
  still using the others fundamental idea or
  theory) fabrication (i.e., inventing or
  counterfeiting sources), ghost-writing (i.e.,
  submitting anothers work as ones own) and
  failure to include quotation marks on material
  that is otherwise acknowledged and
• Representing as ones own anothers artistic or
  scholarly works such as musical compositions,
  computer programs, photographs, paintings,
  drawing, sculptures, or similar works.

• Students are responsible for
• Understanding the rules that preserve academic
  honesty and abiding by them at all times. This
  includes learning and following the particular
  rules associated with specific classes, exams,
  and course assignments. Ignorance of these rules
  is not a defense to a charge of academic
  dishonesty. 
• Understanding what cheating and plagiarism are
  and taking steps to avoid them. Students are
  expected to do this whether working individually
  or as part of a group. 
• Not taking credit for academic work that is not
  their own. 
• Not knowingly encouraging or making possible
  cheating or plagiarism by others.
