PLAGIARISM:
Whenever another writer’s words or materials or ideas are “borrowed” without proper credit or acknowledgement, plagiarism occurs. If you paraphrase another’s ideas or use a quote directly, be sure you name the source. Turning in someone else’s work as if it was your own is beyond plagiarism – it is cheating.
