Understanding Plagiarism

The most common reason for students being referred to the Academic Integrity Office is for concerns about plagiarism -- specifically related to expectations about what constitutes original work and proper citation. The purpose of this assignment is to clarify those expectations.

It is also important to know that there are writing resources on campus to support you if you have additional questions or concerns: the OU Writing Center, the Graduate College, the Office of Academic Integrity, and your professor -- all of whom want you to succeed in your written submissions.
