Plagiarism: (The following information is provided by Mrs. Britney Sewall’s Research & Writing course content presented to students) Plagiarism is defined as “The unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one’s own original work.” Plagiarism is not clearly distinguishing between your words and the words of someone else. Plagiarism is considered cheating, lying, and stealing. Note that there are 3 types of plagiarism: 1. Intentional Plagiarism includes submitting a work found online, copying portions of a written work, and “borrowing” papers from other students. 2. Unintentional Plagiarism includes lack of knowledge regarding source use, misunderstanding of citation rules, and careless note taking. 3. Self-Recycling includes recycling your own writing for another assignment. Please be advised that WOLBI utilizes a plagiarism detection software (Unicheck) that reviews every submitted assignment. The consequence for participating in any of these types of plagiarism may include receiving a zero for the assignment, being put on a Growth and Change Plan, and/or dismissal from Word of Life Bible Institute. D. Questions Questions will be limited during lectures due to class size. Students should only ask questions that are relevant to the whole class. Students should be careful not to monopolize class question opportunities. Disrespect to lecturers in any form will not be tolerated. Questions can be directed to the instructors between classes, but students must be sitting in their assigned seats before the second bell rings to start class. E. Classroom 1.
