failing grade for the course. No late written work will be accepted.
Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty
Plagiarism and academic dishonesty are serious offenses at Columbia.
Although it is the student's responsibility to understand Columbia's policies
about these matters, here is a summary of what the University considers
plagiarism and academic dishonesty:
1. Submitting essays or portions of essays written by other people and
not acknowledging them as such.
2. Failing to acknowledge through proper citation the words and ideas
of others.
3. Failing to indicate paraphrases or ideas or verbatim expressions not
one's own through the proper use of quotations or footnotes.
4. Collaboration on an assignment or examination without specific permission
from the instructor.
