What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is simply using someone's work and not acknowledging or giving credit to the original author(s).

I am plagiarizing if I:

• Intentionally duplicate or copy another person's work including copying directly from an article, book, or website
• Copy another student's assignment(s)
• Paraphrase another person's work, while making only minor changes and not changing the meaning or ideas presented by the original author(s)
• Copy sections of another person's work and piece these sections together to create a new whole
• Turn in an assignment that has been previously submitted for assessment and then take credit for the assignment
• Turn in an assignment as independent work when the assignment was produced in whole or part in collusion with another student(s), tutor(s), or person(s)
