I understand that my work should constitute my own writing unless otherwise certain portions or excerpts be given with proper citation. With this, I express my consent and acknowledgment to the following:
- That plagiarism is an act or the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. In a literal sense, it repeats the exact phrases of writings by which there is no acknowledgment or recognition of the source of its content.
- That plagiarism includes using the resource of another such as using an organization or another person and passing the works as my own.
- That merely paraphrasing the works of others is likewise treated as plagiarism and therefore, I shall ensure that merely paraphrased content will likewise be properly acknowledged.
By signing this form, I acknowledge and understand the statements above. I likewise acknowledge that plagiarism is a prohibited practice and constitutes an act of dishonesty. Should I be caught to have committed an act of plagiarism, I understand the consequences of my actions by which my professor may enforce necessary penalties for acts of dishonesty.
