Beaumont Plagiarism Statement
All digital written assignments must use the student's Beaumont Google account and Google Docs to provide evidence of their ongoing writing process. Teachers must be able to access the complete version history, proper citation, and an accurate list of works cited. In the absence of any of these requirements, the student's work cannot be verified and assessed, and therefore, will receive no credit. In addition, all student work will be subjected to an originality review, including but not limited to, TurnitIn.com, Google Classroom Originality Check, and AI Content Detector.
