Can you submit an assignment that includes portions created or produced by someone else?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Starting with how the question is framed, we’re evaluating policies about including portions created or produced by someone else in an assignment.
Option 1: 'No, you must be the sole author of everything contained in your submitted work' This statement is generally false in academic integrity contexts. Many assignments allow the inclusion of external sources or collaborative elements as long as proper attribution is given and originality or synthesis is demonstrated. Claiming you must be the sole author ignores the common practice of citing sources and can mislead about what constitutes authorship.
Option 2: 'Yes, but you must credit the source of the included element' This aligns with standard academic integrity expectations: you can include content not originally created by you, provided you credit the source and, when required, follow any licensing or usage restrictions. This acknowledges both incorporation of external material and the necessity of attribution, which is the key policy component here.
Option 3: 'Yes, it doesn’t matter who the original creator is, as long as you have an original way of incorporating the element into your work' This is incorrect because attribution still matters. Even with an original integration, you must acknowledge the original creator to avoid plagiarism and to respect intellectual property rights. The identity of the creator and the proper credit are both relevant.
In summary, only Option 2 reflects the correct balance between permissible use of others' work and the requirement to credit sources; Options 1 and 3 dismiss or undermine attribution rules and misstate common expectations about authorship and sourcing.
