Plagiarism Policy

What does plagiarism and cheating mean?

Thanks for asking! If I see or catch plagiarism/cheating I can guarantee that you will regret it. If you are lucky I will warn you, however there is no guarantee that I will do so.

Plagiarism:

Copying/pasting others ideas without attribution/distillation. If you read an article, watch a video, use a book, basically anything outside of the course slides, you should reference the author and where you got the information from. Rote copy/pasting is not allowed. I am interested in what you have learned, not that you know how to copy from other sources.

For additional reference: GVSU Plagiarism Policy and GVSU Computing Academic Honesty Policy.

(Not sure why this is limited to IS, it is applicable to everybody).

Cheating:

If I tell you that you must submit an assignment individually, that means that I don’t want to see multiple copies of the same submission. You must write down your own ideas and do your own work. Generally I don’t mind if you work together on an assignment, but there should be a clear distinction in submissions.
