SFU Political Science Department and Library Links
The Library's Political Science Information Resources page is an indispensable way to start your research in this course.Further, if the idea of finding academic, scholarly journal articles is not something you are used to doing, a link from the previous page to the How to Find Journal Articles page will take all the trial and error confusion out of the process.
On an even more conceptual level, the library has a page that describes how they would define a scholarly journa and how to assess the value and credibility of sources: What is a Scholarly Journal?.
Here is SFU's Political Science Department Website, Research Paper Guidelines, and Guide to Internet Citations.

Plagiarism Thoughts
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."- Aristotle
The September 20, 2006 Vancouver Metro newspaper ran a story about Linda Klebe Trevino and Donald McCabe's study indicating the breadth of widespread cheating among MBA students in North America. The Philadelphia Inquirer [not surprisingly] ran a better story about the study. You can read additional work about cheating by the study's authors as well. As SFU continues to refine its policies about academic honesty, these pieces should help you understand some of the context of academic integrity you should expect to experience in future courses at SFU.
Plagiarism and Academic Dishonesty come in many shapes and forms. There are, in my opinion only, two broad categories of plagiarism: intentional cheating and carelessness or ignorance:
Intentional Cheating
- a student knowingly lets another student copy an assignment
- a student has another person do the assignment
- a student hands in an assignment previously done in another course (not original work for the current assignment)
- a student acquires a complete assignment from someone else.
- a student acquires a complete assignment from the Internet
- a student slightly alters a complete assignment from the Internet
- significant parts of a student's assignment are verbatim parts of an assignment from the Internet
- a student uses a quotation from a source without providing a reference or a correct reference
- a student paraphrases information from any source without providing a reference or a correct reference
