Plagiarism

Plagiarism is stealing the words or ideas of another person and presenting them as one’s own, either by copying someone else’s work or by paraphrasing. Each time a writer or speaker presents someone else’s ideas or works, credit must be given to that person. Some selected examples of plagiarism include:

1. Submitting written or oral work done totally or in part by someone else.
2. Failing to give credit in a paper, footnote, or speech for works or ideas originated by another person.
3. Failing to use quotation marks when quoting written material directly from another person.
4. Paraphrasing another’s ideas or words without indicating the source of the information.
5. Submitting work that was submitted in another course, whether in its original or altered form, without first obtaining the permission of the instructor.
6. Knowingly aiding any of the above offenses.
