15. Organizational Issues
Plagiarism
Plagiarism will not be tolerated
Projects without references: a penalty of 20%
Submitting your own work that has been earlier submitted to satisfy the requirements of another course is (self)-plagiarism (also called double dipping)
Copying a journal article or a section of a book or code from an article or book and submitting it as your own is plagiarism
Organizational Issues

16. Organizational Issues
Plagiarism (Cont.)
Using significant ideas from someone else, but putting them in to your own words and not acknowledging the source of the ideas is plagiarism
Copying an essay, code, work etc. from another student and submitting it as your own is plagiarism
And PLAGIARISM is THEFT
So don’t steal (Nobody likes thieves)
