How do we deal with plagarism or the introduction of copyrighted material (especially figures)?

If any of the material in the ChemWiki turns out to be plagiarized, the university can face serious legal consequences, which will be passed directly to the primary plagiarizer. Therefore plagiarism will be harshly pursued requiring detailed and clear efforts by all contributors to leave a “construction trail” that proves that the material is original. To enforce this: Plagiarized modules (including text and figures) will receive no credit, the final grade will be penalized, and author(s) will be reported to student judicial services. No copyrighted figures can be used on the ChemWiki. If you make your figures in a bitmap based program such as paint you should save and upload at least three versions of the figure. If you use a more advanced program like PowerPoint, CorelDraw or Printshop it is enough to upload the original file with the final figure. Figures from the internet can be used only if they are public domain. If it is not clear if a figure is copyrighted, assume it is. Post t
