Plagiarism is defined as the presentation of the ideas or the writing of someone else as one's own.
Allowing another person to substantially alter or revise your work and submitting it as your own. Using another's written ideas or words without properly acknowledging the source. If a student uses the words of someone else, he or she must put quotation marks around the passage and add indication of its origin, such as a footnote. Simply changing a word or two while leaving the organization and content substantially intact and failing to cite the source is plagiarism. Students should also take note that failure to acknowledge study aids such as Cliff's Notes or common reference sources constitutes plagiarism.
