PlagiarismDeliberate plagiarism is a serious act of academic misconduct. Students may be suspended from the University if they are found to have plagiarized their course work. Whether inadvertent or deliberate, plagiarism includes the following:(a) word-for-word copying of sentences or whole paragraphs or presenting of substantial extracts

from either paper-based or electronic sources the work or data of others that are published or unpublished (such as books, internal reports, and lecture notes or tapes) without clearly indicating their origin;

(b) using very close paraphrasing of sentences or whole paragraphs without due acknowledgement in the form of reference to the original work;

(c) submitting another student’s work in whole or in part;(d) using of another person’s ideas, work or research data without acknowledgement;(e) copying computer files, algorithms or computer code without clearly indicating their origin;(f) submitting work that has been written by someone else on the student’s behalf; andsubmitting work that has been derived, in whole or in part, from another student’s work by a process of mechanical transformation (e.g., changing variable names in computer programs
