Undergraduate Academics
Plagiarism
The University of Michigan takes very seriously the act of plagiarism. In order to be fully informed on what constitutes plagiarism please refer to the following resources.
- The Library's handout, which several departments have used for their statement on the subject. http://www.lib.umich.edu/handouts/plagiar.pdf
- The LSA Academic Judiciary Manual of Procedures defines academic integrity and outlines possible sanctions for violations http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lsa/detail/0,2034,53%255Farticle%255F294,00.html
- The Sweetland Writing Center's list of resources on writing, http://www.lsa.umich.edu/swc/resources/writingresources/
- The Indiana University website has a useful interactive self-instruction exercise on plagiarism. The user is asked to evaluate if each in a series of examples constitutes plagiarism or not. The questions get progressively more difficult and delve deeper into the subject from item to item. http://education.indiana.edu/%7Efrick/plagiarism/item1.html
