Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty.
It includes passing off someone else's works or ideas as your own, or paraphrasing material from a source text without providing proper documentation. It is never acceptable to copy directly from a source text unless you use quotation marks and supply proper documentation, but you are advised to use direct quotations sparingly. To avoid the possibility of plagiarism, do not copy chunks of material from your sources. You are expected to read the material and then express the ideas in your words, while giving credit to the source of the material. Plagiarism, like other forms of academic dishonesty such as cheating, is a serious offense at Old Dominion University.
