Plagiarism and academic honesty: Students are expected to adhere to the academic
regulations of the University as outlined in the "Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters"
which can be found in the UTM Calendar or at
http://www.utoronto.ca/govcncl/pap/policies/behaveac.pdf.
The work you submit must be your own. Plagiarism is a form of academic fraud,
and the University treats it very seriously.
See the guide How Not to Plagiarize.
