Plagiarism & Fraud
Plagiarism: Presenting someone else’s work as your own
Copying (parts of) your solution from another student or the internet
Having a source other than you create (a part of) your solution for you

Plagiarism is a form of academic fraud

Giving your work to someone else to copy is academic fraud as well

Plagiarism is bad for you, other students, us, and everybody

Fraud is reported to the exam committee

Good news: you get one warning Bad news: this is that warning
