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)
