7. plagiarism
“Plagiarism is the representation of other people’s ideas as one’s own without giving proper credit to the original author or authors. Plagiarism occurs when a student copies direct phrases from a text (e.g., books, journals internet) and does not provide quotation marks, or paraphrases or summarizes those ideas without giving credit to the author or authors. In all cases, if such information is not properly and accurately documented with appropriate credit given, then the student is guilty of plagiarism.”*
* RIT Student Rights and Responsibilities: A Handbook of Policies and Procedures p. 43
