PLAGIARISM
Students are expected to hand in their own work. Very general design documents and
web sites make it easy for others to pass them off as their own. It is in the students
best interest to make sure that there are sufficient specific details contained in their
work that would make it difficult for others to use the work as their own. Any suspicion
of plagiarism will be thoroughly investigated and, if proven, dealt with in accordance
with the Universitys policy on Plagiarism.
