Plagiarism

Plagiarism, whether done deliberately or accidentally, is defined as presenting someone else's work, in whole or in part, as one's own, and includes the verbal or written submission of another work (for example, ideas, wording, code, graphics, music, and inventions) without crediting that source. This includes all electronic sources (for example, the Internet, television, video, film, and recordings), all print and written sources (for example, books, periodicals, lyrics, government publications, promotional materials, and academic assignments), and all verbal sources (for example, conversations and interviews). The facilitation of plagiarism, that is, one student sharing his or her work with other students, is also considered an act of plagiarism. Please read and familiarize yourself with the Algonquin College Plagiarism Policy.
