Conclusion
Expecting a Certificate?
If you are expecting to get a Certificate, you need to take an official Plagiarism Test. If you pass one of those tests, you'll earn a Certificate--which you can then e-mail to yourself, as well as print and save it.
Summary
It is important to avoid plagiarism. When you properly acknowledge the contributions to knowledge made by other people, you are showing respect for their work, and you are giving credit where credit is due. You are not misleading the reader to believe that your work is solely your own.
The academic community highly values the acknowledgment of other people's contributions to knowledge. The disciplinary consequences of documented plagiarism at Indiana University can be severe. As a student you could receive a failing grade, be expelled from the university, or in extreme cases your degree could be revoked if plagiarism is discovered after you have graduated.
