Students must be aware of the risks and penalties in
case of plagiarism.
Plagiarism is defined by the dictionary of the Royal
Academy as the action of "copying in the substantial
works of others, giving them as their own." Therefore,
plagiarism is a serious fault: it is the equivalent in the
academic field, to theft. A student who plagiarizes does
not take his education seriously, and does not respect
the intellectual work of others.

Plagiarism There is no small plagiarism. If a student uses any

policy portion of another person's work, and does not
document their source, they are committing an act of
plagiarism. Now, it is evident that we all have the ideas
of others when presenting ours, and that our
knowledge is based on the knowledge of others. But
when we rely on the work of others, academic honesty
requires that we explicitly announce the fact that we
are using an external source, either by means of a cite
or by means of an annotated. When we make an cite or
a paraphrase, we clearly identify our source, not only to
give recognition to its author, but so that the reader
can refer to the original if he wishes.
