Learning requires that students assume full responsibility for their work.  Unless otherwise directed, all assignments must be independently completed.  Plagiarism is when you present words or ideas of someone else as your own.  When you use ideas and information from an outside source for any assignment that is submitted for credit, you must document that source.  Any graded assignment (e.g. homework, classwork, tests, quizzes, research projects, etc) that the teacher deems to be plagiarized or copied will result in a zero for the assignment.  Any student who lends his/her work is subject to the same consequences.  A student will be permitted to resubmit an assignment (not applicable to tests and quizzes) for half credit if the assignment is valued at more
than 10% of the total number of points for the quarter.  The assignment must be resubmitted within two days of being notified by the teacher that the assignment is plagiarized.
