Grading and Class Conduct Policies

Plagiarism

Plagiarism: Don't let it happen to you!

	Plagiarism is the act of taking 
	someone else's ideas, words, or 
	work and presenting them as your 
	own without giving proper credit. 

	You can get help from anyone and 
	any resource to understands how 
	to solve your assignments.  But, 
	when you  submit  your  solution, 
	the solution has to be yours and 
	yours only, you may not copy 
	any solution from anywhere.
	
	Plagiarism is not accepted at all
	and will not be tolerated and will 
	be reported to the SCU authorities.
