Dear Student,

You have FAILED this course because of academic dishonesty. Per the course syllabus:

Academic Honesty: While students are always encouraged to discuss class work and assignments between themselves, all work turned in is to be original work done by the student. All sources should be carefully and clearly footnoted. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and any student caught plagiarizing or cheating will receive a failing grade for the course.

You have plagiarized either part of (at least four instances) or all of your required course paper. This was discussed in class and was discussed in detail in the paper requirement handout.

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
