    WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

    According to the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary plagiarism is “to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own.” Plagiarism also means:

    • Submitting someone else's work (in whole, part, or paraphrase) as one's own without fully and properly crediting the author;
    • Submitting as one's original work materials obtained from an individual or agency;
    • Submitting as one's own original work material that has been produced through unacknowledged collaboration with others.
       

      WHAT IS CYBER-CHEATING?

      Cyber-cheating is another form of plagiarism and includes:

      • Cutting and pasting someone else's Web work and submitting it as your own;
      • Downloading essays, papers, speeches etc. from the Web and turning them in as your own;
      • Buying essays, papers, speeches etc. from the Web and turning them in as your own.
