PLAGIARISM
|
"To use another
person's ideas or expressions in your writing without acknowledging
the source is to plagiarize. Plagiarism, then, constitutes intellectual
theft...."

| To plagiarize
is to copy text from a book, an article, a friend’s paper, or
any Web site without giving credit to the author. Reworking someone
else’s sentences with a thesaurus is still plagiarism. You can
change every word in the sentence, but if the idea came from someone
else, you have plagiarized! |
