Copying
It is a violation of academic integrity to present someone else’s work as your own. That means:
- You cannot buy a completed assignment from someone else on the internet.
- You cannot reuse an assignment that someone else completed in a previous semester.
- You cannot pay your roommate to complete your assignment for you.
- You cannot crowdsource your assignment, either online or in real life.
- You cannot avail yourself of any of the many, many other creative ways to get around actually doing the work yourself.
Your instructors notice when your writing differs from your typical style. They have access to anti-plagiarism resources like Turnitin. They know how to search the Internet. In general, they are highly educated people who are very intelligent. If you copy, either part of your assignment or the whole thing, the chances of your getting caught are a lot higher than you might think.
