It is the key for all academic growth and development during the educational experience. When using the work of others to support your own, always give credit where credit is due. Cite authors and publications using appropriate methods within your documents. To do less would mean that the work of others is being claimed by someone who has not originated it. This is a type of theft known as plagiarism. Cases of plagiarism will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, with penalties ranging from warnings to project failure. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"> · **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Resources/References: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> Borem, A., Santos, F., & Bowen, D.
