Academic Integrity

To avoid plagiarism, ensure that you cite all sources that are not common facts as well as ideas that are not originally your own. There are several citation style guides. Your professor may request that you use one such as MLA, APA or Chicago. A go-to source for citations is the Citing Sources Guide. 

We are all under pressure to complete quality work and demonstrate our knowledge of subject material in exam format within a specific period. However, the Iona University Student Handbook outlines the consequences of academic dishonesty.

It is simply not worth the risk.
