“Plagiarism (either
intentional or unintentional) is the using of
ideas or work of another person (including experts and fellow or former
students) and submitting them as your own. It is considered dishonest and
unprofessional. Plagiarism may take the form of cutting and pasting, taking or
closely paraphrasing ideas, passages, sections, sentences, paragraphs,
drawings, graphs and other graphical material from books, articles, internet
sites or any other source and submitting them for assessment without
appropriate acknowledgement.” (University of Sheffield, 2013)
Plagiarism
is an important topic that all students are expected to take seriously.
Consult the library’s Information Skills Tutorial on plagiarism to learn how to avoid it.
