(TAMU Reg 39) Plagiarism The handouts used in this course are copyrighted. By "handout", I mean all materials generated for this class, which include but are not limited to syllabi, in-class materials, materials posted on elearning.tamu.edu and handouts. Because these materials are copyrighted, you do not have the right to copy the handouts, unless I expressly grant permission. As commonly defined, plagiarism consists of passing off as one's own the ideas, words, writings, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism if you directly copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you have the permission of that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst forms of academic dishonesty, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research cannot be safely communicated.
