Plagiarism

In an academic context, using quotations from external sources without proper references in any type of written work (e.g. homework, assignments, reports, presentations, exam essays, seminar papers and theses) may result in a failing grade.

Always make sure to clearly distinguish your own ideas from those of others. Using material from another work without providing full reference details (author, title, year and place of publication, and page number), or including a verbatim quotation without quotation marks, constitutes plagiarism. Work found to contain plagiarism will not be taken into account when calculating your final grade for the semester (zero points, failing grade). In more serious cases, the entire course may be failed, and further formal proceedings may follow.
