http://www.district112.org/CME/Parents/CMSE%20Handbook%202007-2008.pdf
The handbook has 52 pages, the 28th page deals specifically with plagiarism.
As an educator, I put the following policy on my syllabus for each class that I teach.
Academic Integrity: Honesty in work is absolutely expected in this classroom.We are all here
to learn and our work offers evidence of this occurring.Dishonesty, including copying work from
someone else or from another source (including the web), allowing your own work to be copied,
talking or using notes during a quiz or test (unless allowed), and any other dishonest actions will
result in serious consequences.There will be no points given for the involved assignment and
further action could ensue.DO YOUR OWN WORK AND DO IT WELL - BE PROUD OF YOUR EFFORT!
