Avoiding and Spotting Plagiarism Policies of Long Island University Brooklyn Campus Brooklyn
Campus Policies Administrative
Regulations
The classroom instructor determines the rules of acceptable student conduct during examinations. Each instructor has the right to insist on procedures to ensure the integrity of those examinations- seating arrangements, no communication among students, the restriction of materials available to students during the examination, and so on.
If a student is discovered cheating in a classroom examination or written assignment, either by crib notes or by receiving information from or giving information to a fellow student or by any means not stipulated by the rules of the examination, the instructor has the right to confiscate all test materials from the person or persons involved and give the grade of zero for the examination to the person or persons knowingly involved. The instructor also has the right to fail the students for the course.
Also, students who submit written or other work provably not their own or who submit work with sources inadequately acknowledged or with an inadequate system of documentation for a specific course assignment may be given the grade of zero for the work submitted and a failing grade for the course.

Island University Brooklyn Campus Student Handbook and Planner
(2007-2008) Responsibility for academic integrity is shared by the Brooklyn Campus' administration, faculty, students and staff. While classroom discipline is the responsibility of the faculty member in charge of the class, disciplinary action, ranging from reprimand through expulsion from the university (subject to the Dean of Student's final decision), may be initiated by an individual faculty member and/or Department against any student for the conduct of a nature that interferes with the educational purpose of a class, and for conduct involving plagiarism and/or dishonesty in examinations or class work.

Avoiding Plagiarism by Citing Sources (2008) (p. 4): The School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences is committed to helping students avoid plagiarism in the course work they submit. Plagiarism means presenting someone else's ideas and/or words as if they were your own. If you paraphrased or summarized someone's ideas or words without documenting the source, you are misleading the reader into believing that another persons' words or ideas are your own. As teachers, we have no way of verifying what was intentional and what was accidental. Either way, you have committed plagiarism. Luckily, it is easy to avoid. Whenever you use an idea that you found somewhere, say where you found it. In other words, provide a citation to the original source. English
