What is Plagiarism

Picture
_According to the Oxford English Dictionary, plagiarism is defined as “the action or practice of taking someone else‟s work, idea, etc., and passing it off as one‟s own; literary theft.”  This means anything taken directly from another source, without properly stating from where that information came and/or without properly paraphrasing.

Plagiarism is Serious !
Teachers have complete discretion to decide if  the work has been plagiarized based on careful review of the Turnitin documentation. They are the ones who will be pursuing the case. They can ask for guidance from other teachers or the
department supervisors.  Cases of academic fraud where students “borrow” projects and papers from students outside of Turnitin, will be dealt with by their individual teacher.
