someone else's ideas, graphs, pictures, or anything that you borrow without
giving credit to the originator of the words and ideas. It definitely includes
anything you download from an Internet site or copy out of a book, a newspaper,
or a magazine. It also includes stealing the ideas of another person without
giving her or him proper credit.
Some obvious examples of plagiarism include
o
copying someone else's paper.
o
taking short or long quotations from a source without identifying the source.
o
turning in a paper you bought over the Internet.
Some less-obvious examples include
o
changing a few words around from a book or article and pretending those
words are your own.
o
rearranging the order of ideas in a list and making the reader think you
produced the list.
o
borrowing ideas from a source and not giving proper credit to the source.
o
turning in a paper from another class. Whether this is plagiarism or not
depends on your instructor—ask first!
o
using information from an interview or an online chat or email, etc., without
properly citing the source of the information.
o
using words that were quoted in one source and acting and citing the original
source as though you read it yourself.
