University level expectations, marks and plagiarism
- Expectations:
Professors/instructors will assign work on a regular basis (frequently on a weekly basis). These assignments
are graded and they will contribute towards the final course mark. For some courses (particularly those in
Commerce, MIB, or MBA), class attendance, participation, and formal presentations are integral and also count
towards the final course mark.
- Marks:
- Plagiarism:
Allowing it to be thought that another's ideas or phrasings are one's own by failing to provide proper acknowledgement.
- Copying and pasting from the internet
- Copying a printed source or other resource without proper acknowledgement
- Copying from another student
- Using direct quotations or large sections of paraphrased material in an assignment without appropriate acknowledgement
- Buying term papers or other assignments and submitting them as one's own
- Submitting the same piece of work in more than one course without the permission of the instructors
- Obtaining a copy of a test or exam from an earlier section of the course and writing the same test or exam later in the day or subsequent days
