Writing Guide: Plagiarism
You are here to learn, not to pretend to learn. When you present the work of others as your own, you are merely pretending to have learned something. You are cheating. And you are being ridiculously boastful. For these reasons, we do not tolerate plagiarism. You are required to know what plagiarism is and to avoid it.
The description of documentation and plagiarism in the Skidmore Guide To Writing and "The Ethics of Scholarship" at the Dean of Studies web page will help you to do so.
