What is plagiarism, and what actions make up plagiarism?
What will be an ideal response?
Plagiarism is passing off the ideas and words of others as your own without clearly acknowledging the source of those ideas and words. Plagiarism is very bad even when unintentional. Acts that constitute plagiarism include:
• Turning in someone else's written work as your own (even if they give you permission)
• Purchasing a written work from a professional and passing it off as your own work
• Copying sentences, paragraphs, or pages from a source without indicating the source
• Copying sentences, or more from a source without including proper quotation marks, page references, or indentation even when the proper citation is provided
• Paraphrasing sentences without providing the proper citation of the original source
• False paraphrasing (changing one or two words) in sentences, and failing to provide the proper citation of the original source
