5. Definition of Plagiarism: Plagiarism
is the use of passage
materials, words or ideas that come from someone or something
else, without properly naming the source.
Examples include, but are not limited to:
copying someone’s assignment;
copying text or other materials from the Internet or other source
without citing them;
paraphrasing items from a book or article without citing them;
using translation software to translate sentences or passages; or
using the same sentence structure or thesis as another source
without citing it.
Basically, if someone or something else has done the work (or a
portion of it) for you, and you do not acknowledge it, you are being
academically dishonest.
