What is Plagiarism?

Broadly speaking, plagiarism is failing to give credit for any ideas or expressions of ideas that are not your own. Plagiarism includes:

• Direct plagiarism: copying entire sentences or paragraphs from another source without crediting the source
• Mosaic plagiarism: blending copied words, phrases or ideas in with your own writing without crediting the source
• Improper paraphrasing or summarizing: putting an author's ideas into your own words without crediting the source
