Plagiarism
(Page 1 of 3)
Plagiarism is the act of appropriating and using the ideas,
writings, or works of original expressions of another person as one's own without giving
credit to the person who created the work. This may encompass portions of a work or an
entire work. Works of original expression include but are not limited to papers, speeches,
poetry, movies, videos, protected pieces of art, illustrations and musical compositions.
Plagiarism can result from either deliberate dishonesty or
ignorance of citational procedures. Deliberate plagiarism is especially serious and
warrants more severe sanctions, but even plagiarism based on ignorance of procedures is a
punishable offense, especially when it occurs more than once. Any student who seeks
clarification on what constitutes plagiarism should consult the pamphlet "Plagiarism
Explained" which is available at the SJU and CSB Writing Centers.
Plagiarism is an act of dishonesty and violates the mission and
spirit of the educational enterprise at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's
University. It also violates the rights of other students. next >>
