Every Student should read Seneca's policy on Cheating and Plagiarism.
Cheating and Plagiarism are serious offences.
http://www.senecac.on.ca/home/academic_policy/appe.html
Teachers are trained to catch the most sophisticated and unusual cheating methods - DO NOT try to cheat, there is a very high chance you will be caught.
If you are caught cheating you might receive "0" on the exam, or project, or, you could fail the course. In some cases for serious cheating offences, students have been kicked out of the college.

Most students understand cheating. Plagarism is more subtle, but also a serious offence.
Plagarism includes copying any work, that is not your's, and submitting it for grading, without making reference to the fact that it came from another source. 

Prof. Richardson wishes to remind you that If you "cut and paste" phrases and sentances off the Internet, without using ".", or without saying what URL it came from, this is considered plagarism. If you copy work from another student's website, and submit this for grading, it is also considered cheating, unless you have permission, and say what site it came from.
