Plagiarism: presenting someone else's work or ideas as your own or without attribution.
It's easy to plagiarize by mistake. Common examples of plagiarism are:
- turning in someone else's work as your own, whether it's purchased from the Internet, written by a friend, or obtained elsewhere
- copying words, images, or ideas from someone else without giving credit
- failing to put quoted passages in quotation marks
- giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation
- changing words but copying the ideas of a source without giving credit
- reusing your own work for multiple assignments (without faculty permission)
