Plagairism The intellectual content of books, articles, speeches, movies, and music belongs to the person who created it. If you use any part of a publication or another person's exact or paraphrased words, you must give credit with a citation! In a high school class, failure to properly credit your sources will usually result in a failing grade on that assignment. Depending on your school, you may be subject to further disciplinary action. Please see page 22 of the NHS Code of Conduct for more information on how NHS deals with cases of plagairism. In college, you will certainly fail any assignment found to contain plagarism, and more than likely you will fail the course. Additionally, many colleges and universities will dismiss those who plagairize. There are also legal consequences to plagairism. See this site for more information. Book w/ One Author
