  10. Academic Honesty:I made it, it’s mine! or is it? Film “HowardCantour.com” by Shia LaBeouf is practically word-for-word the same as Clowes’ Justin M. Damiano (a graphic novel). The film even uses some of the same imagery. Clowe’s didn’t receive credit. LaBeouf was widely criticized for his actions. Clowe’s is upset.

  11. response via twitter “Copying isn’t particularly creative work. Being inspired by someone else’s idea to produce something new and different IS creative work. In my excitement and naiveté as an amateur filmmaker, I got lost in the creative process and neglected to follow proper accreditation. Im embarrassed that I failed to credit @danielclowes for his original graphic novella Justin M. Damiano, which served as my inspiration. I was truly moved by his piece of work & I knew that it would make a poignant & relevant short. I apologize to all who assumed I wrote it. I deeply regret the manner in which these events have unfolded and want @danielclowes to know that I have a great respect for his work. I fucked up.” Source: http://www.themarysue.com/shia-labeouf-plagiarism/

  12. all inspiration needs to be cited Andrew Hake on Twitter noticed that the bolded part of that statement is awwwwfully similar to what someone named “Lili” wrote on Yahoo! Answers four years ago. Take it away, Lili: “Merely copying isn’t particularly creative work, though it’s useful as training and practice. Being inspired by someone else’s idea to produce something new and different IS creative work, and it may even revolutionalize the ‘stolen’ concept.” Source: http://www.themarysue.com/shia-labeouf-plagiarism/

  13. LaBeouf hires sky writer to apologize But you don’t have to. Cite! All inspiration, templates, tutorials, etc. that are referenced in your work. Source: http://www.chron.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Shia-LaBeouf-Apologizes-For-Comic-Book-Plagiarism-5108775.php

  14. It is my idea, I just didn’t know how to make it. By all means ask a friend to show you how to do something. Don’t get someone else to do it for you. If the teaching staff is in anyway unsure that you completed the work you submitted you will be asked to do a “proof of skill”. Proof of skill is a demonstration of your ability to reproduce work submitted.

  15. Academic honesty Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Academic dishonesty is a form of misconduct that is subject to disciplinary action and includes but is not limited to, cheating, forgery, impersonation, plagiarism, close copying of another creative work, bringing in unauthorized materials during exams or quizzes, allowing other students to copy your work, or modifying answers on graded exams, etc. All instances of cheating will be reported to SFU. You are expected to have read SIAT student conduct policy and linked SFU policies within document. This document is provided in this section of your Canvas course.
