What exactly is plagiarism? 

Justice

Plagiarism is an offense that involves appropriating someone else's work.

studies

In essays, internship reports, dissertations, theses... relying on existing ideas is essential, provided their origin is acknowledged.

Justice

Generative AIs such as ChatGPT are external sources: if you use them, you must cite them.

What is expected of me

Total transparency for the reader

I leave no ambiguity between what comes from me and what comes from another.

Traceability of all sources

I name, record, and categorize all the sources used.

Reproduction of sources with method

I am brief and comprehensive. I introduce the quote within quotation marks in a logical manner in the sentence. I modify it by adding brackets […].

Use of paraphrasing in a rigorous and parsimonious manner

Even if I use my own words, I explicitly cite the author from whom I borrowed the idea.

Building your bibliography

I am precise in classifying authors with their references according to an identical model for each source.

The risk is real, the penalty too

Sanctions par l’établissement

Au terme de la procédure disciplinaire, l’étudiant encourt une sanction définie comme toute mesure (autre que les observations verbales) prise par la commission de discipline à la suite d'un agissement considéré comme fautif.

Selon la gravité du manquement constaté, la sanction pourra consister :

  • En un avertissement
  • En une mesure d'exclusion temporaire (de Un jour à UN an)
  • En une mesure d'exclusion définitive

Les amendes ou autres sanctions pécuniaires sont formellement interdites.
