Academic Integrity:

The University of Michigan’s academic integrity policy defines plagiarism as“representing someone else’s ideas, words, statements, or other work as one’s own without proper acknowledgement or citation”. Plagiarism of any kind and of any degree will not be tolerated.

• Any information that is not common knowledge must be cited in-text.

• “Smoking causes lung cancer” is an example of common knowledge.

• “110,000 Americans died of Alzheimer’s disease in 2017 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018)”, conversely, requires a citation.

• Direct quotations from any source must be cited and contextualized.
