Plagiarism Policy: As Music Technologists, we are routinely entrusted to protect the intellectual property of our client's creative work. Likewise, as college students, I expect you to show respect for the intellectual property of other authors. Ocasionally, I encounter a student who tries to submit plagiarized work to avoid doing the assignment. Please understand it is my job responsibility to enforce the college's policies regarding plagiarism:
"Plagiarism, which is the appropriation of words or ideas of another without recognition of the source, is another form of cheating. An instructor who determines that a student has plagiarized will give a zero for the paper or project and may give a failure for the course. Both cheating and plagiarism are grounds for dismissal from the College. Any action taken regarding cheating or plagiarism is subject to the Academic Grievance Policy outlined in the Undergraduate Catalogue and in the Student Handbook."
