Student Email Policy:
Dakota College at Bottineau is increasingly dependent upon email as an official form of
communication. A student’s campus-assigned email address will be the only one recognized by
the campus for official mailings. The liability for missing or not acting upon important
information conveyed via campus email rests with the student.
Academic Integrity:
Pearson Education defines plagiarism this way: Simply put, plagiarism is using someone else's words and
ideas in a paper and acting as though they were your own. This definition includes copying someone
else's ideas, graphs, pictures, or anything that you borrow without giving credit to the originator of the
words and ideas. It definitely includes anything you download from an Internet site or copy out of a
book, a newspaper, or a magazine. It also includes stealing the ideas of another person without giving
her or him proper credit.
Some obvious examples of plagiarism include
•
copying someone else's paper.
•
taking short or long quotations from a source without identifying the source.
•
turning in a paper you bought over the Internet.
Some less-obvious examples include
•
changing a few words around from a book or article and pretending those words are your
own.
•
rearranging the order of ideas in a list and making the reader think you produced the list.
•
borrowing ideas from a source and not giving proper credit to the source.
•
turning in a paper from another class. Whether this is plagiarism or not depends on your
instructor—ask first!
•
using information from an interview or an online chat or email, etc., without properly citing
the source of the information.
•
using words that were quoted in one source and acting and citing the original source as though
you read it yourself.
