Biology Department Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. The free sharing of information on Facebook and
the Internet does NOT apply to academic situations. You must give the source for all
information you use, and you must use quotation marks whenever you copy the text directly.
Copying an illustration without attribution is also plagiarism (and may be in violation of
copyright law). Here are some examples of plagiarism that we see frequently:
a. Copying a phrase (or more) from an Internet site or article without using quotation marks,
even if you provide the source.
b. Copying a phrase (or more) from an Internet site or article without giving the source at all.
c. Paraphrasing too closely – changing a few prepositions does not eliminate the need for
quotation marks around the fragments that you did copy.
d. Copying information from the lab report or assignment of another student, of this year or a
previous year.
e. Using an Internet image in a Powerpoint presentation without giving the source.
As of Fall 2011, the MINIMAL penalty for a first offense will be a 0 on the assignment, and a
report will be submitted to the departmental chair and the University Registrar. The instructor
may, at his/her discretion, impose more serious penalties. Subsequent offenses will result in
additional sanctions such as failure in the course or expulsion. Ignorance is no excuse!
This policy applies to ALL assignments unless otherwise noted – lab reports, term
papers, exams, assignments, Powerpoint presentations, and posters.
