What is plagiarism?
Answer
As defined by CUE's Academic Calendar, 9.2.5 Academic Honesty - Section C. Academic Dishonesty:
"Plagiarism is the use of the ideas, structures of argument, or phrases of others without appropriate acknowledgement."
Appropriate acknowledgement must be given when information is:
- Re-written in the student's own words (paraphrasing)
- Copied directly from the source and put in quotation marks (quoting)
