Plagiarism:

The CSUN catalog defines plagiarism as “intentionally or knowingly representing the words, ideas, or work of another as one’s own in academic exercise.” I do not tolerate plagiarism or academic dishonesty of any kind and I will, at a minimum, give an F for the course to any student guilty of plagiarism. The CSUN catalog also authorizes me to refer the case to the appropriate University officials and seek expulsion of the student from the University. I will exercise that option if I feel it is warranted. Make sure all your work is properly cited and DO NOT represent the work of another as your own.
