A note on plagiarism

[edit]

Plagiarism is a scary word, and it's important to remember that it isn't a value judgment on you as a person.

You might be thinking, "I'm a good person, I would never plagiarize!"

But as you will see, many people plagiarize by mistake, or simply don't know all the rules.

As you go through this orientation, remember that this is guidance to help you avoid falling into problems with the way you use the information in your sources.

It's not a statement about your integrity as a student!
