Nashville State Community College defines plagiarism as "The adoption or reproduction of ideas, words, statements, images, or works of another person as one’s own without proper attribution. Examples include but are not limited to copying of passages from works of others into one’s own work without acknowledgment; summarizing or paraphrasing ideas from another source without proper attribution, unless such information is recognized as common knowledge; and using facts, statistics graphs, representations or phrases without proper attribution."
NSCC's Student Code of Conduct recognizes plagiarism as academic misconduct and may lead to disciplinary sanctions in accordance with this policy.
