WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?

Plagiarism is the presentation of another person's work, ideas, or creations as your own, without acknowledging where those ideas came from. In other words - you take credit for someone else's work.

THIS IS CHEATING!!

What constitutes plagiarism?

  • copying phrases and passages word-for-word without quotation marks and without a reference to the author
  • paraphrasing an author's work and presenting it without a reference
  • copying any part of another students' work
  • submitting a piece of work that has already been submitted for assessment in another subject
  • presenting other people's designs and images as your own work
  • submitting work as your own that someone else has done for you.

If you have used someone else's work without acknowledging your source, you have plagiarised.
