I realize that the following are all examples of plagiarism:

• Quoting a textbook, primary source, or any other material that is not my own without a citation. This includes “cutting and pasting” from a website.
• Paraphrasing a textbook, primary source, website, or any other material that is not my own without a citation.
• Paraphrasing a textbook, primary source, website, or any other material that is not my own “too closely.” Anything that is paraphrased must be completely rewritten into my own words so that it does not, at all, resemble the syntax of the original and must include a citation.
• Submitting a paper written by anyone other than me, including a friend, a parent, a tutor, or a paper mill.
• Submitting a paper written by me previously for another class.

I further understand that for this particular class, any use of the internet, be it Wikipedia, Spark Notes, or a paper mill, is expressly forbidden.

I further assert that all work submitted is my own.

I understand that Indiana University Northwest takes violations of the Code of Academic Conduct seriously. If this paper is found to be plagiarized, I will at the very least receive a “0” for the assignment. Other possible consequences include: failing the course, having the violation placed in my permanent record with a grade of F*, and being expelled.

I have read and understand the preceding terms and I agree to abide by them.
