7. Definition of Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the taking of someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as your own. It includes:
copying – submission of someone else’s entire work as your own. The original work could be from the internet, a classmate, or a student in a previous year.
copying parts from a number of different books, journals, or internet sites, and linking the parts together with your own words; failing to indicate a direct quote (quotation marks should be used) in the text.
paraphrasing or synthesising material from a book, journal article or internet site without acknowledging the source in the text.
Presentation title

8. Definition of Plagiarism continued…
composing a paragraph by joining together sentences from a number of sources and not acknowledging them in the text.
using your own previous work in another assignment without acknowledging it.
The reasons for plagiarising can either be intentional or unintentional, and can often be due to:  
poor time management,
having problems with managing your workload,
leaving the work to the last minute and taking the easy option,
a crisis at home, or even just laziness. 
Accidental plagiarism is treated just as seriously as doing it on purpose.

Theft of…
