Plagiarism is defined as 'the act of presenting the ideas, words or other intellectual property of another as one's own'. The use of other people's work must be properly acknowledged and referenced in all written material such as take-home data, computer programs and research results. The properly acknowledged use of sources is an accepted and important part of scholarship. Use of such material without complete and unambiguous acknowledgement, however, is an offence under this University of Waterloo policy.
