PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism often results from rushed or careless note-taking from other sources during writing process,
with intentionally unwilling, or unintentionally forget, to put references around students original words.
Plagiarism is:
Using someone elses words or idea without proper documentation;
Copying some portion of your text from another source without proper acknowledgement of
indebtedness;
Borrowing another persons specific ideas without documenting the source;
Turning in a paper written by or copying from someone else, an essay from service business, or
from a World Wide Web Site (reproductions of such essays or papers).
Plagiarism is a very serious offense, both inside and outside of academic communities.

Students need to develop autonomous thinking to reach their opinion and conclusions. To
encourage that practice, students can read, synthesize and write about other peoples work.
However, students are obligated to give reference on these texts whenever they quote them directly,
paraphrase the authors point or points, or use the authors ideas to help clarify, sustain, support, or
organize their own ideas.
Using other sources for a paper, students must document ideas or words derived from them both by
listing the sources in a bibliography at the end of the paper and by citing sources in the main text
itself.
To cite a source is to make clear to the reader 1) who originated the idea or quotation that you have
used; and 2) where it can be found. This then allows the reader to do further research or check your
evidence.
