Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of presenting
the ideas or works of another as one's own. This
applies to all material such as theses, essays,
laboratory reports, work term reports, design
projects, seminar presentations, statistical data,
computer programs, and research results. The
properly acknowledged use of sources is an
accepted and important part of scholarship. Use
of such material without acknowledgment,
however, is contrary to accepted norms of
academic behaviour.

possible for each assignment:• How long should it
be?• Is research involved?• How many sources?• What style of
documentation?
• Observe how scholars in your field use sources, and imitate their practices.
• When in doubt, cite.
• Use writing resources (like the Learning Centre) to have an expert review your writing with you.
Acknowledging Your Sources There is a well
established literature within theoretical economics of consumption as a means to signal status, first described by Veblen (1899) and formalized in work by Basu (1989), and more recently by Bagwell and Bernheim (1996).
In an essay on urban legends, Jan Harold Brunvand notes that "some individuals make a point of learning every recent rumor or tale . . . and in a short time a lively exchange of details occurs" (78).
