As stated in the journal guideline, plagiarism is any form is not acceptable. Plagiarism does not only constitute presenting someone else’s work as your own but it also constitutes blatant mishandling of other people’s work or ideas. Using, quoting, or paraphrasing someone else’s work, words or ideas as your own without citing the proper sources constitute plagiarism. If you are unsure or the proper way to cite sources or whether the word/ideas that you used should be cited, please consult with your facilitators or the various writing resources available online or around campus. Students who are found guilty of plagiarism or are suspected to have plagiarized will be reported to the faculty advisor immediately. Those who are found guilty will receive a failure for the course and his/her case will be brought up to the Academic Board which can result in a disciplinary action being taken upon him/her or an expulsion from the university.
