Plagiarism Instance

I’m sorry to report that there was an instance of clear plagiarism on the assignment A5.  The individual received a zero for the assignment and was reported to the judicial affairs board.  The teammates received a 5% penalty for not being aware of their teammate’s work (it could be much more severe than that in industry).

Please be very careful to put quotation marks around other people’s words and to cite the source of a quotation (or paraphrase) very near the instance.  Putting a general page of references at the end is not sufficient.
