It is expected that students at CHCI shall be honest in their academic work, which includes the acknowledgement of sources.  In my classes deliberate plagiarism shall be cause for a grade of zero on the assignment and reporting to the appropriate vice-principal as well as to your parent/guardian. 

Just do it—document!!
