Plagiarism
Plagiarism is a serious educational offense that can lead to severe consequences. All sources used that are copyright protected must be given intellectual credit by the student writing the paper. Wallingford Public Schools uses MLA Style for formatting research papers. MLA handbooks are available in the library media center.
