Plagiarism policy Plagiarism demonstrates lack of integrity and character. It is inconsistent with the goals and values of NHHS. Review the plagiarism policy to learn about strategies that will help you succeed with honor. NHHS policy on cheating and plagiarism http://www.nhvweb.net/NHHS/English/cheatingplagiarismpolicy.htm Properly cite your sources by using NoodleTools: Citing photos: Select "Painting, Sculpture or Photograph" from the Audiovisual section of the Create Citation drop-down. Carefully review the options on the "Painting, Sculpture or Photograph" screen. If you have taken an image from an informational web site, database, or e-book, choose one of the source types at the bottom of the page; you will be citing that source rather than the image itself. Citing interviews: Select "Interview" from the Other section of the Create Citation drop-down. Return to table of contents
