Plagiarism

LMACS students will not plagiarize. Plagiarism is using someone else’s work or ideas without permission and treating them like they are your ideas. The most common types of plagiarism are:

Context Change: To camouflage copying by changing the context of the original paper.

Missing Footnotes: To skip footnotes altogether.

False References: To cite nonexistent books or journal articles, or referring to sources unrelated to the subject matter.

Any student caught plagiarizing will be subject to a staff intervention on the first offense. On repeated offenses the student will be subject to a meeting with Parent/DA and LMACS administrators.
